Not to mention the speed at which the honor was given. I wonder if granting this honor is something that the President of France can just bestow, without having to go through any process.
I was very impressed by that, very impressed. Well done, President Hollande!
Now contrast that with the YEARS it took for the Food Hood folks to get their Purple Hearts. That was something that could have been done very swiftly as well. But Obama just didn't see the need for it.
