  2. Well said.
    Last week I read an article in the NYT about the remains of WW1 battlefields and bunkers in the countryside of France where American soldiers fought and died. The French have long memories, he said and many will always be grateful.

  3. I must add Canadians to the list! What brave souls those Yankees and Canucks were, going to a foreign soil almost none of them had ever seen. Chutzpah!
