Why are crosses used as grave markers in overseas American military cemeteries instead of the tablet type used in US?
Crosses are used as grave markers in overseas American military cemeteries primarily to symbolize the sacrifice made by service members and to reflect the Christian heritage of many of those buried there. This choice aligns with the traditional use of crosses in European cemeteries, where many American soldiers are interred. The uniformity of crosses also emphasizes the collective nature of their sacrifice, serving as a powerful visual representation of honor and remembrance. In contrast, tablet markers are more commonly used in the U.S. for varied cultural and historical reasons.

Where are US soldiers who became prisoners of war during Battle of the Bulge buried?
Prisoners were not buried. Only those who died. Large cemeteries exist today in towns for soldiers who died in the battle. Families of Americans did have the chance to return the bodies of loved ones back to America at the conclusion of the war. They had to do so at their own expense and many families could not afford the high cost of transporting the body back home. So thousands of American soldiers are laid to rest in cemeteries all over Europe today
