Battle of the Bulge Monument

The inner walls are covered with ten passages carved in stone commemorating the battle, and the parapet bears the names of the 48 U.S. States.

Insignia of most participating battalions are shown on the walls, representing the 76,890 killed and wounded during the thwarted December 1944–January 1945 German Watch on the Rhine offensive, known in English by the colloquial "Battle of the Bulge".

The Latin inscription on the memorial stone: translates to "The Belgian people remember their American liberators – 4th July 1946."
