Luxembourg American Cemetery And Memorial & A Visit To Trier Germany Vlog
On our latest journey through Western Europe we decided to make our way through Luxembourg, check out their capitol and stop off to visit and pay our respects to the many soldiers that lost their lives in the second world war and are buried outside of the city.
We started, as usual, in the area of the Constitution Square where, we found a parking area that overlooks the Adolphe Bridge. The bridge itself was completed in 1903, is named after the Grand Duke Adolphe, who from 1890 to 1905 reigned Luxembourg and was the first to hold the title not in union with another. This bridge is the unofficial national symbol of the Country and is one of the cities main tourist attractions. The area is breathtaking and here in the middle of the square, where we parked, is the symbol of freedom and resistance for the people of Luxembourg called the Gelle Fra Memorial. The statue of the Golden Lady was put up in 1923 to commemorate the lives of the
people of Luxembourg who died in the first world war. The beautiful Gella Fra was torn down by the Nazis during their occupation of Luxembourg and it was not completely repaired until 1984 through extensive restoration.
There is just so much history in this area and I was just awestruck by the views, the sights and the knowledge that I am just a speck in its long and colourful past. It is possible to take a city sightseeing tour-bus through the city and its surrounding areas. There are ten stops on the bus tour and you have the ability to jump on or jump off at any of the stops in the area, just make sure to ask how long it will be before the next bus comes along so you are aware of how much time you will be able to spend at each stop.
After doing a bit of looking around, we continued on to the outskirts of the city to visit the American Military Cemetery and Memorial and pay our respects. It is an easy drive from the city to the Cemetery and it is situated in a forest area that surrounds the entire area. When you walk through the gates here, you have the ability to read about its history and talk to the guards that are always on duty. While we were here, there was a family who had brought their Grandfather to visit and pay his respects to those whom he had fought alongside of during the war. He was a very elderly man who was not able to easily get around. In cases such as these, the person who is in charge of the Cemetery, picks these visitors up with a golf cart and takes them around the area while talking to them and asking them questions about their experiences during the war.
While we were in the center of the Memorial, we visited the Memorial Chapel to sign the guestbook and say a few prayers. At that moment, I was completely overwhelmed with such feelings of sadness and could not help but to shed a few tears. Following the staircase down from the Chapel, you will find an inscription that is roped off, from Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is carved into the walkway and reads, All who shall hereafter live in freedom will be here reminded that to these men and their comrades we owe a debt to be paid with grateful remembrance of their sacrifice and with the high resolve that the cause for which they died shall live eternally.
When we were done paying our respects here, we continued down the road and made a stop in Trier, Germany. As with many other places in Europe, Trier has a long and interesting history. There are many historic buildings here that you can get to either with a tour bus or the city touring train. There are quite a few places to shop, eat or drink in the center of the city and I would recommend getting off of the beaten path here to experience the beauty of this modern and typical German city.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
