In order to do our part to protect public health and safety in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Oudenaarde American Monument is cancelled.  However, the AOMDA Foundation is determined to fulfill our mission of commemorating America’s war dead in Belgium despite the pandemic.  Therefore, there will be a digital commemoration of all of the soldiers and airmen who are buried in Belgium, with more details to be announced in the weeks leading up to Memorial Day.

This ceremony commemorates the American soldiers of the 37th and 91st Division who died in the liberation of the area between Waregem and Oudenaarde in the First World War.
