The cemetery and visitor center are open to the public under American Battle Monuments Commission schedules. International travelers should verify current hours, ceremonies, transportation, and any temporary restrictions before departure. Peregory’s grave location is fixed, but visitors interested in the medal should contact ABMC because the repository record does not guarantee public exhibition.
The burial and original-medal relationships are intentionally separate records.
The original-medal location is based on the Congressional Medal of Honor Society recipient record.
The coordinate is a geotagged visitor-center point rather than a grave coordinate.
