China Burma India World War II Memorial at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery

Indiantown Gap National Cemetery is located in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. This cemetery is home to thousands of veterans who served in the United States military during peace and/or war time. You'll find spouses of our veterans buried here too.

Throughout the cemetery you'll find various memorials and monuments that pay respect to our great men and women. Even if you don't have a loved one buried at the cemetery it's still worth the visit. It's a great way to pay respect to our heroes and to learn about the military history of our great country.

During one of our visits to Indiantown Gap National Cemetery we visited the China Burma India World War II Memorial which is located towards the back of the cemetery. We recommend stopping at the office and picking up a map to help you locate it. It's not that easy to find.

The memorial honors those who fought in the China, Burma and India conflicts during World War II, December 7th, 1941 through March 2nd, 1946. It honors the memory of all of the men and women who served our country during that conflict. On the side of the memorial you'll find a bronze plaque that reads "When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today". Kohima Epitaph

Located a few feet away you'll find a small memorial that's dedicated to the U.S. Navy Seabees. It's faded so all I could really make out on that one is "Seabees - We Build. We Fight". We were there during the month of December so that's why you see the Christmas Wreath placed at the memorial.
