Summary

Members of the French 3eme Regiment d' artillerie de Marine stand at attention during the Belleau Wood Ceremony. United States Marines and their French counterparts gathered at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery May 25 to celebrate Memorial Day, and to mark the 96th anniversary of the historic Battle of Belleau Wood. The event was held in the memorial cemetery which lies adjacent to the historic grounds of Belleau Wood and featured the laying of wreathes, a firing of volleys, the playing of "TAPS," raising of the American and French national colors, and a concert by the French and Marine Corps military bands. The mayor of the village of Bellau along with other military officers and officials representing the U.S. and France were present along with hundreds of locals and visitors from around the world. Participating units from the U.S. Marines included 6th Marine Regiment, the Wounded Warrior Regiment and Marine Forces Europe and Africa. French units that participated in the ceremony included the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment and the Musique Principale des Troupes de Marines.
