Above its bronze entrance door is engraved: Greet Them Ever With Grateful Hearts On three of the outer walls, the dedicatory inscription appears in French, Flemish and English: This Chapel Has Been Erected By The United States Of America In Memory Of Her Soldiers Who Fought And Died In Belgium During The World War. These Graves Are The Permanent And Visible Symbol Of The Heroic Devotion With Which They Gave Their Lives To The Common Cause Of Humanity Beneath the three versions of the inscription, sculptured bas-relief figures symbolizing Grief, Remembrance, and History respectively appear. Located inside the chapel is an altar of Grand Antique (black and white) marble. On the front of the altar is inscribed: I Will Ransom Them From The Power Of The Grave I Will Redeem Them From Death Above it carved on a rose-tinted marble panel is a Crusader's sword outlined in gold.
