Panama City, Panama

The Corozal American Cemetery is located approximately three miles north of Panama City, Republic of Panama, just off Gaillard Highway between the Corozal Railroad Station and Fort Clayton.  To reach the cemetery, follow Gaillard Highway north from Panama City, turn right on Rybicki Road and proceed about one half mile to the cemetery.  Taxi and bus service to the cemetery are available from Panama City.  In agreement with the Republic of Panama, care and maintenance of the cemetery in perpetuity was assumed by the American Battle Monuments Commission on October 1, 1979.

At this cemetery, sixteen acres in extent, are interred 5,144 American veterans and others.  A small memorial feature sits atop a knoll overlooking the graves area.  It consists of a paved plaza with a twelve foot rectangular granite obelisk flanked by two flagpoles which fly the American and Panamanian flags.  Floral tributes are laid at the obelisk during memorial services.  A paved walk leads from the plaza to the chapel at the foot of the knoll.  Engraved on the obelisk is the following:

THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO ALL INTERRED HERE WHO SERVED IN ITS ARMED FORCES OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PANAMA CANAL

The cemetery is open daily to the public from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm except December 25 and January 1.  It is open on host country holidays.  When the cemetery is open to the public, a staff member is on duty in the Visitors’ Building to answer questions and escort relatives to grave and memorial sites.
