It was a Trip! • May & June 2019




Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, run with grace and dignity by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC)
is one of 16 American overseas cemeteries that hold World War II dead. Henri-Chapelle holds my father,
1LT John Silas Sheffield Peirson, whose grave I saw for the first time on Friday, May 25, 2019. It was a moving,
humbling, emotional, and cathartic experience, as expected, and I'm so glad we finally came.
