One hundred years ago the American Battle Monuments Commission was created to honor fallen and missing service members overseas. Today the commission manages cemeteries, memorials, monuments and markers in far-off places like France, Tunisia and the Philippines. Correspondent Seth Doane visits an American cemetery in southern Italy, where servicemen who gave their lives to liberate that country from the Nazis in World War II are watched over, with the promise that "Time will not dim the glory of their deeds."

My great uncle was an army ranger killed in 1944 trying to capture the town of Cisterna just outside of Anzio. He’s buried in this cemetery and I had the honor of visiting many years ago. It’s such a beautiful place.

I was at the American Cemetery in Normandy this summer. It’s incredibly beautiful and equally haunting, it’s impossible to walk through without crying. The grounds are impeccably kept.

These people, who maintain and stand watch over our fallen, deserved this recognition that is long, long over due. As a Army solider who spent more than one tour of duty in Europe visiting the many places that our fallen are placed at with care, this is a very moving tribute. To Jane Pauley and the entire CBS Sunday morning crew, You did us, ALL of us, proud and right ! ! Thank you. US Army 1972-1982 Washington State.

You'd have to be made of stone to not be moved by this story, the sacrifice made by these men and the way that are honored even though many American's don't even know about these final resting places. A gift to have viewed this story.

The sad things is that we are not celebrating those who fought for us. We work that day, most US companies do not even close, people are forgetting the sacrifice made by these men.

My Uncle Frank A. DeDionisio was listed in MIA in Italy in 1945. Then I found info that he is either buried in this cemetery in Nettuno, Italy or has a marker here. I wonder how I can find out for sure.
