A Marine walks through the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery following a Memorial Day service commemorating the 93rd anniversary of the Battle of Belleau Wood. This year's ceremony marks the first time in 93 years that the Marines of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments have returned to the battlefield together to honor their fallen comrades. More than 1,800 Marines from the 5th and 6th Regiments lost their lives in the 21-day battle that stopped the last German offensive in 1918.
