Where is General George Patton buried?

General George S. Patton, Jr, is buried in the American Battle Monuments Commission Cemetery in Luxembourg, in Plot P, Row 1, Grave 1. The cemetery is near Luxembourg City. Patton is one of the 5,076 American servicemen buried in this cemetery, which covers 50.5 acres. An additional 376 missing are commemorated on the "Tablets of the Missing" at this cemetery. The cemetery is one of twenty the ABMC maintains in Europe containing the dead of WWI and WWII whose families elected after the wars to leave their loved ones among their comrades. It is American soil in perpetuity. Patton lingered long enough after his injury that his wife, Beatrice, was able to fly from the states to be at his side. She had the option of having his remains returned to the states, as did the family of the lowliest private. Beatrice said she thought he would appreciate more resting among his men.
