the memorial, a rectangular structure with two large bas-relief panels, consists of a chapel, portico, and map room with a mosaic operations map constructed under the direction of the american artist eugene savage. on the walls of the court of honor, which surround the memorial, are inscribed the names of 424 of the missing. rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. stretching northward is a wide, tree-lined mall that separates the two large burial plots. at the northern end of the mall, the circular flagpole plaza forms an overlook affording a view of a wide sweep of the moselle valley.
