U.S. Airforce Captain Kevin Chelf and Staff Sargent Cecilia Toomey walk along a corridor with walls indicating names of American and Filipino soldiers who died in war during the annual Veteran's day ceremonies held inside the Manila American Cemetery in Taguig City, south of Manila, Philippines on November 11. United States Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas joined surviving war veterans to pay tribute to American and Filipino troops killed in World War II at the cemetery, where more than 17, 000 American military and 570 Filipino counterparts are buried.
Veterans buried overseas
This cemetery in the Philippines contains the largest number of military dead of World War II. Many vets never made it home, even for burial. Have you been here? Or any other military burial ground overseas?

A picture of U.S. Army Corporal Jeffrey Dennis Straface who died serving in Vietnam in 1968, left at the base of Memorial Wall, at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C, on November 10. The Washington Monument can be seen the background.
Remembering those who served
Thousands of items have been left at the Vietnam Memorial in D.C since it was built in 1982. The items are collected and then transferred to the NPS Museum and Resource Center, which catalogs and stores all items except perishable organic matter, like flowers. They have been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute in past years.
Names are still being added - six were added last year. You can find names, or browse on the wall's website. You can donate to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial fund here, and find out more about the ceremony they will be holding today.
Have you been to this memorial in D.C.? Do you have a Vietnam memorial in your city?
