There is a US Government website that allows you to look up any Veteran by name who is still buried in a foreign country: American Battlefield Monuments Commission. I don't think it has a list that you can scroll through. But you can enter a last name and search. Or you can enter a unit and search and it will pull up everyone in that unit.
Remember---- some soldiers were immediately buried in Europe. But after the war ended, the US government offered to return the bodies if the family requested it. Some soldiers were re-buried in the US.
