Just like many other public services in the United States, the American cemetery in the Zuid-Limburg Margraten was closed on Tuesday, reported a spokesperson of the war cemetery.How long the closure will last, he could not say. That depends on the American government. He would not release any further information.
The cemetery harbors the remains of 8,302 American soldiers who fell during World War II. The Dutch government gave the land on loan to the U.S. government.
