100th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Belleau Wood During World War I
Crosses mark the graves of U.S. soldiers, most of them killed in the Battle of Belleau Wood, at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on May 25, 2018 near Chateau-Thierry, France. Nearly 100 years before U.S. soldiers, many of them marines, repelled repeated assaults from a German advance at Belleau Wood only 60 miles from Paris. The U.S. suffered approximately 10,000 casualties in the month-long battle, including nearly 2,000 dead. Today the Battle of Belleau Wood is central to the lore of the U.S. Marines. A ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American cemetery scheduled for May 27, on Memorial Day, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the battle. (Footage by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
