Last from CACM for now




Here are two final photos from Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial. The first is a variation of the US Great Seal that appears on the main entrance of the Cemetery as well as on the Visitor Center (shown here). I have not been able to find any finformation about this particular version of the Great Seal. The second shows the Great Seal for the state of California. It is in the form of stained glass and is located in the chaple along with the seals for all of the other states as well.

Here is a brief description of the seal as described at netstate.com:

" Under the gaze of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, a miner works near the Sacramento River. A grizzly bear rests at her feet and ships ply the river. The Sierra Nevada mountains rise in the background. Wildlife, agriculture, natural beauty, commerce, and opportunity are all represented on California’s Great Seal."
