My dad fought in the Anzio campaign while on a ship. He lost a close friend. I remember dad telling me as a child that the battle for Anzio was worse for him than Normandy. His ship had four battle stars. Thank you for this memorial.
Every grave in anzio means a hero, who fought for me and the whole world to restore our freedom, the medal of honor belongs to all of them starting from anzio, omaha beach, malmendy and so on, thank you for your service🙏
What an absolutely beautiful place to be laid to rest. It brings me to tears to imagine what those men and women went through. We are eternally grateful to them all ❤️
Thank you. I visited in 1993. The US Embassy Military Attache in London was most generous with his time in getting info on my 2nd cousin who is interred there. When I arrived after getting lost driving from Rome, the Cemetery's Commander was the kindest of people. It is a majestic place to honour our dead, but such a sad, sad place seeing the markers of all those young men and women lost in battle for freedom. I thank you for keeping their memories sacred.
In 2018 I visited this cemetery in Netuno. I could stay there all day just saying thank you for each one soldier that lost their lives for a freedom that we are contemplating today. I stayed in Netuno for 30 days in 2018. This little town and the Citta di Anzio has a lot of history. When I visited this cemetery I heard a story from a lady that is an employee about an Italian soldier that fought in the WWII and that he is still alive. She said that he comes to the cemetery almost every single day to visit his American friend that lost his life in Netuno. Mannnn when I heard that, I cried like a baby as I am now. I originally from Brazil, but I have lived in the United States for over 20 years. I have been in Italy 3 times and I confess that Italy is like my home. Everytime that I visit Italy I feel like I travel into history and not only from the both WWs, but from the ancient times (Roman empire). God bless Italy and the USA. God bless the world. The video is beautiful.
I visited the cemetery yesterday with my wife’s niece and our two grandchildren. A beautiful, sacred place and well worth the train ride from Rome to Nettuno.
I lived nearby in 2008 and use to visit the memorial. As you walk around the grounds the gravestones seem to move around you due to the way they are positioned in lines. I hope to visit again someday.
Not sure if any friends of my Grandfather's are interned here. He was a Canadian member of The U.S./ Canada First Special Service Force. He landed on The Anzio beach head and saw action at The Mussolini Canal Monte La Difensa and up the boot and the drive to Rome.

Thank you for this video. I have an uncle buried there. It's nice to see his eternal surroundings are so beautiful.

"…and God bless you.”
So beautiful. Easy to see why Italy is the world’s most popular travel destination.
Very well done, keep up the good work.
My family is from Sicily and we were moved to know this..
Beautiful
I plan to visit during my trip to Italy next year. Every bit an artistic and moving memorial as the ancient artifacts in Rome itself.

Amazing video thank you, does anyone know what music is playing ??
It is an original piece specially created for our series "Rediscover ABMC cemeteries".
Tengo ganas de llorar.RIP
Un ringraziamento commosso a chi è morto anche per la mia libertà
Красиво.
Could this current generation of non military youth fight to uphold democracy? I hope so but I don't think they could.
