The Florence American Cemetery and Memorial is about 12 kilometers south of Florence. It covers about 28 ha, chiefly on the west side of the Greve river, framed by wooded hills.
Most of those buried here are from the Fifth Army who died in the fighting that followed the capture of Rome in June 1944; others fell in the heavy fighting in the Apennines between then and 2 May 1945.

A rather sad place, with military order in eternity. Unfortunately I have little time to search this weekend. Cheers, Martin

Google-Bildersuche hat u. a. folgendes ergeben: https://www.themeanderthals.com/memorial-day-a-time-to-remember-and-to-change/
Dabei waren die Verluste der USA im 2. Weltkrieg viel geringer als die anderer Länder. Und jetzt hat man Europa dahin gebracht, dass amtierende Politiker wieder einen Krieg, sogar einen atomeren fordern.
