Verdun: Pennsylvania Memorial

This was kind of interesting . . . we were done driving around Verdun and we took a turn out in the middle of nowhere to go back to Strasbourg - where we just happen to pass by the US memorial to the soldiers who died at Verdun . . . for PENNSYLVANIA ! Needless to say Pennsylvanian native, Patrick, was a bit surprised.

What was also interesting was how huge and well done the memorial was relative to some of the other memorials in the area that were more critical to the war.
