Want to do a positive shout out for our Adventure Guides Casey and Alexa in Italy. This was a September 2018 adults only Italy trip and we "deviated from the script" for a few hours outside of Florence. Alexa advised that because we had been so good at being timely, we were ahead of schedule and we made a surprise stop (maybe it is a regular stop, I don't know - they did have bathrooms...) at the Florence Italy American WWII Cemetery and Memorial. There are about 4400 US Soldiers buried here. The cemetery and grounds are operated by the USA Battle Monuments Commission. This was a very moving and spiritual visit honoring our fallen Americans from WWII. At the conclusion, veterans in our group were invited to retire the colors for the evening.

Yes! Our group in June with Natalia and Alexa also made this stop and male military members, active or past, participated in the same way.
