Soldiers, civilians, family members and members of the community gathered for the German Memorial Day ceremony on Nov. 19, 2023, at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas. German Memorial Day or Volkstrauertag - people's day of mourning - was introduced by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (German War Graves Commission, founded in 1919), at the suggestion of its Bavarian branch, in order to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. The motivation was not grief “by order” but a means of enabling those who had suffered no loss to display visible solidarity with the survivors of the fallen.
