The American Philippine Cemetery



I went to the American Philippine Cemetery.  All of the U.S. soldiers who died in WWI defending the Philippines were buried here.  It was a very peaceful place.  You can't see it very well but the shape of the cemetery is a circle and the graves are in rows forming an arc.  Behind me is a large structure, also shaped like an arc, that houses information regarding the different battles in Asia. There are many maps on the walls and a list of all of the soldiers names who died here.
