This page is to honor and remember the men of Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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.
The Wreath and Banners above remembered our fallen in 2019.
Finally, we want to thank the sons and daughters, other family, and next of kin of the men of Cambridge American for contributing over the years to our
annual Memorial Day remembrances ~ including wreaths like the one above and banners like the ones below ~ that remember these men by name.
With special thanks to those who have been able to travel to be on hand to represent so many of us who couldn't be there.
Respectfully,
Jeanne Brooks Rhinehart
This gorgeous Wreath was presented for Memorial Day 2015.
Audrey and Gerry Darnell (shown here at Memorial Day 2015) have represented AWON many times over the years ~ with thanks!
In 2014 as today, AWON remembered 38 fallen by name
and so many others who died in the cause of freedom.
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 our 38 AWON Cambridge men.
Jean Brooks Rhinehart is one of just six AWON overseas coordinators who has been with the program since the beginining.
Jean is also a two-time former AWON Board Member ~ and Co-Chair of the Wreath & Banner program. Jean helps remember
everyone at Cambridge American, but she especially remembers her father, 1LT Glenn U. Brooks, Jr. ~
KIA 22 Mar 1943 near Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
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.
