A chapel at a cemetery is (in my opinion) always a special something. In this case even more special as it is at the American Military Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten.

About the chapel
The chapel is located at the end of the Walls of the Missing when you enter the Margraten cemetery. It is the high structure and the entrance is at the cemetery side. The entrance has a very nice door on it. It is a golden door tree on a glass door. Above the door is the text : "In Memory of the Valor and the Sacrifies which Hallow this Soil * * * "
The chapel itself is quite sober. A small wooden benches for prayer and contemplation. Also a few candles and small wooden altar.
