This page is to honor and remember the men of North Africa American . . .
our fathers, uncles, brothers, and loved ones . . . on their day . . . at the one place on earth where they are most remembered.
For keeping this place on earth so well ~ we want to thank the American Battle Monuments Commission,
along with the North Africa American Superintendent and his staff for the dignity and reverence the entire
ABMC team provides our fathers and the friends and loved ones who visit them.

As you may know, cautions related to the Covid-19 virus caused the American Battle Monuments Commission
to close all ABMC overseas cemeteries to the public until further notice. But Memorial Day remembrances are happening
regardless, not just at our overseas cemeteries, but right here, right now, as we remember all who died in the cause of
freedom ~ including the 23 AWON men of Carthage.
To longtime AWONer Diane Sagen for serving eleven years as the North Africa American Coodinator,
2005 through 2015. Thanks finally to Judge Bonnie Hellums, who took over in 2019, remembering all,
but especially her father, 1LT Newton Storey (Pete) Blackford, KIA 16 July near Algiers, North Africa.
Due to Covid, no public services were held on Memorial Day 2020.
Please be patient as we bring in treatments of 2005 through 2007 from another server.
