Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial is a Second World War American military war grave cemetery about 20 mi east of Liège. Dedicated in 1960, the cemetery contains 7,992 American war dead and covers 57 acres.

The majority of the fallen buried here were killed during the Allied push in Germany during late 1944 and early 1945. The fallen from two key military engagements fill the cemetery; the First United States Army's drive through northern France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg into Germany in September 1944; and the Battle of the Bulge – including the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and the taking of Aachen.

Other notables:
Lt. William Nellis (1916–1944 †), USAAF P-47 pilot and namesake of Nellis Air Force Base
