Across the street from the cemetery is the church of Belleau, rebuilt after the war out of subscription funds from the National Guardsmen of the 26th Division. It was dedicated as the 26th Division Church on a rainy and windy day in October of 1929

Between the 2nd and 26th Divisions, the area around the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery was the sight of horrific fighting from June-July, 1918. Regulars, Marines, and Guardsmen fought desperate struggles here. It was here that it became clear that the US had what it took to win.

I would ask the President that he at least visit the Suresnes American Cemetery, which it just on the outskirts of Paris. Please.
Those young men & women who died in WWI deserve at least some part of your time. They did so much & asked for so little.— Angry Staff Officer (@pptsapper) November 10, 2018
