COMPACAF honors fallen service members at Manila American Cemetery Jan. 31, 2025

Gen. Kevin Schneider, Pacific Air Forces commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Katie McCool, Pacific Air Forces command chief, visited the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines on Jan. 28, 2025.

During their visit to the Philippines to meet with senior officials from the Philippine Air Force, the command team toured the cemetery and laid a wreath in honor of fallen service members in the Pacific.

The Manila American Cemetery is the largest all-American cemetery overseas, serving as the final resting place for more than 17,000 American service members who fought in campaigns across the Pacific, including World War II. Twenty-nine Medal of Honor recipients are interred there alongside their fellow service members.

The visit highlighted PACAF’s valued partnership with the Philippines, reaffirming a longstanding commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
