Explore France #1 - Belleau Wood: Battlefield, Fountain, and Cemetery & Memorial - [4K]
What should you see in France? Over the course of 8 days, we traveled the country, from moving World War I/II battlefields, to famous island castles, the city streets of Paris, the coast of the French Riviera, and the roaring engines of Formula 1 in Monaco!
On our first day, we toured the woods of Belleau nearly 99 years after the battle. After walking the battlefield, we visited the Chateau Belleau to drink from the famous 'Devil Dog Fountain'. Our final stop this day was to pay our respects to the Marines and Soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial, maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
The video cannot do the woods, or the Memorial justice. If you are a Marine, a student of history, a proud American (or Frenchman), or anyone who wants to hear an incredible story of overcoming insurmountable odds, be sure to visit this moving memorial of one of the most strategically important battles of the Great War.
Be sure to stay tuned for the second day, when we head to Paris!
