Our Mission

We engage the public - especially younger Americans, to ensure that the sacrifices of Americans who fought to protect our freedoms, died, and are buried overseas remain relevant so that future generations may live in liberty.The American Battle Monuments Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) organization and the official partner of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC.gov). ABMC is responsible for the maintenance of all 26 American military cemeteries and 32 monuments in 17 countries overseas.
