The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) maintains burial and memorial records for U.S. service members who died outside the United States, primarily during:
- World War I
- World War II
- Korean War
If a U.S. service member died overseas and was not returned home, the ABMC is often the only centralized burial record available.
For genealogists, the ABMC database is essential for:
- locating overseas burials
- identifying memorialized (missing) service members
- confirming military unit information
- discovering next-of-kin data
