"American Memorial" Top 5 Page for this destination Bastogne Things to Do Tip by Dabs

The Mardasson Memorial (American Memorial) is a star shaped monument in tribute to the American soldiers that fought and died during the Battle of the Bulge. You can climb to the top of the Memorial for a view over some of the battlefields, key points of the Battle of the Bulge are marked. The memorial was inaugurated in 1950, it is inscribed with the names of all 50 states but I'm curious how Alaska and Hawaii (which are out of alphabetical order) got added since they were the last two states admitted in 1958 and 1959 after the Memorial was completed.
