Watched the Hallowed Ground episode, did you notice how meticulously maintained the grounds and head stones were? They are beautiful, and the Stars & Stripes flying high is very moving. The French version of the American Anthem that young schoolchildren were taught to sing after Liberation was very moving as well.
Kudos to PBS for both of those shows.
There is an entire generation over there, much like the Veterans here, that are leaving us everyday. BUT acknowledge and hold in the highest regard those American Soldiers who died on their soil. Why is it still their soil?
Because our Great Nation, with higher ideals, bravery, valor, honor, and character, KICKED THE AXIS BASTARDS OUT & GAVE IT BACK TO THEM.
The scene of the old French woman tending the headstones and laying flowers at Epinal, was to the point of tears. She was once once a young French beauty, and to her dying day will Love those American Soldiers.
The Patton Memorial in Belgium was interesting, as they moved his grave to look out over his fallen troops. The way he would have wanted it.
I hope the older citizens over there, pass it on to the next generation.
What's the phrase?
If you can read, thank a teacher.
If you can read in English, THANK A SOLDIER!
