The Paris Traveler

France Will Never Forget

by Lynn on July 26th, 2007

Funny how synchronicity works in our lives. I just finished reading Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky a little over a week ago, then a few days later we were invited for cocktails on a French destroyer, after that we invited two French fighter pilots, Sylvain and Jean-François, over for dinner, and today a friend sent me this video clip.

I know this took place on the 4th of July, but it’s well worth showing at any time. Besides, any American who has spent time in Normandy knows just how much the French appreciate what a sacrifice (of lives) America gave for their freedom.

This organization by the same name, The French Will Never Forget also placed a red rose on each of the 60,511 graves and the 11 MIAs of American soldiers fallen in France during WWI and WWII. Very moving to say the least.
