Description: 

The American Battle Monuments Commission (AMBC) is a small independent agency of the Executive Branch of the federal government which is responsible for commemorating the services of the American Armed Forces by establishing suitable memorial shrines and overseeing the design, operation, and maintenance of American military burial grounds in foreign countries. The ABMC Web site provides online forms to order photographs of the headstone or marker of any individual buried or memorialized at World War I and II overseas cemeteries. They also provide forms which allow family members to arrange for the placement of floral decorations at overseas veteran's graves or memorialization sites.
