Question

How many U.S. soldiers are buried on European soil?

Answer 1

74,569

Answer 2

In the Normandy American Cemetery there are 9,387 U.S. servicemen buried.  I don't think anyone really knows how many U.S. service men are buried in other places in Europe.

Answer 3

Any US soldier, sailor, airman or marine killed overseas during a declared war is entitled to burial in the country if the host nation permits this and provides the land for the military cemetery. The person's final resting place is determined by the request of the serviceman (or servicewoman) and then their survivors.  

Answer 4

Only the dead ones...the live ones are still moving around and breathing.
