Unveiled in 1950, the Mardasson Memorial is a tribute from the people of Belgium to those Americans who fell on it's soil. The edifice is in the shape of a 5-pointed star and is 12 metres high.
The roof is accessible by means of a spiral staircase.
The monuments bears the names of all 48 states.
Quite a view!
The pillars bear the names and insignia of all of the US divisions which fought in Belgium.
What an extraordinary sight.
