ONLINE FREE LECTURE: Located in Homburg, Belgium, Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery is the final resting place for 7,992 WWII service members, and where the names of 450 Missing in Action service members are commemorated. Fifty-four of these men called Maine home. From the state’s rocky coast along the Atlantic Ocean to its highest peak of Mount Katahdin and from towns in between, these men answered their country’s call. They left everything familiar to fight in a faraway land. They hugged their parents, siblings, spouses, and children goodbye. They missed their families. They dreamt of reunions. They wept. They suffered. They mourned. They sacrificed. They freed a continent. They liberated generations. Silenced by the passage of 80 years, their voices speak once again in The Dirigo Men of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery: Stories of Maine’s WWII Service Members.
