Visited a WW2 cemetery in Luxembourg. Can you guess what famous American is buried there?

That always my first stop after landing in Luxembourg. Have half of my family there and grew up going there every other summer. It’s right on the way from the airport to where my family (mostly) lives in Lux. It’s become, more or less, a tradition to make that stop. Patton is still revered for liberating the country.

Also have pics of me next to this statue from every trip. https://ettelbruck.lu/visiteur/visiter/culture/lieu-de-memoire-monument-patton/

Hope you enjoyed your time in my motherland. I’m due for a return visit. It’s been too long.

OK, anybody recognize this place?

Hint: It is a famous building in US history.

Roosevelt's "Beloved Island" Memorial​

For many years, Franklin D. Roosevelt summered on Campobello Island. As an adult, he shared with his family the same active pursuits he enjoyed on the island as child. Although he visited less frequently after contracting polio, Campobello remained important to FDR. Today Roosevelt Campobello International Park serves as a memorial to FDR and a symbol of cooperation between the U.S. and Canada.

Roosevelt Campobello International Park
New Brunswick, Canada

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, spent his summer vacations on Campobello Island over a period of 56 years. His rugged and beautiful "beloved island" is located in Passamaquoddy Bay, which forms the border between the State of Maine and the Canadian province of New Brunswick. He came first with his father and mother, then with his wife and children. Here he fell ill with polio that left him partially paralyzed at the age of 39. Today Roosevelt Campobello International Park honors his memory and symbolizes the friendship between the United States and Canada. The 2,800 park includes the 34-room “cottage” where Roosevelt and his family lived and four other cottages dating from approximately the same period. In the park’s natural areas, visitors can still see the beaches, bogs, forests, and magnificent views of ocean headlands that Roosevelt loved.
