Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla., introduced a bill today to allow families to bring home the remains of fallen World War II soldiers buried in the "Axis of Weasel" nations of France and Belgium.
She has two co-sponsors, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Rep. Tim Johnson, R-Ill., for her bill, intended as a rebuke to the weasels' obsessive support for genocidal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Families of 81,172 servicemen interred in 14 cemeteries operated by the U.S. military would be affected.
She came up with the idea after talking to Ken Graham of Dade City, Fla., whose father is buried in Alsace-Lorraine, France.
He told her he and other Americans were unhappy with France and would like to bring his father's body home.
"I, along with many other Americans, do not feel that the French government appreciates the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have made to defend the freedom that the French enjoy today," Brown-Waite said.
"The remains of our brave servicemen should be buried in patriotic soil, not in a country that has turned its back on the United States and on the memory of Americans who fought and died there," she said. "It's almost as if the French have forgotten what those thousands of white crosses at Normandy represent."
That's because the Frenchies have forgotten it intentionally. As NewsMax has reported, the cowardly country, obsessed as always with its inferiority complex, has rewritten its history books to minimize all America did to free France from its collaboration with Germany's National Socialists.
Natalie Loiseau, a P.R. flack at the French Embassy in Washington, seems to think she has a right to tell America's elected representatives what to do.
"No one having responsibility should do such things," she fumed.
Direct those exact words to Jacques Chirac and his beloved Saddam, you French quisling.

Additionally, the people of Normandy treat our dead with more respect than we do in the Veteran's Cemetaries here. School children learn the history of a soldier. They manicure his grave and make sure the flag on it is clean and not ragged.
Fat chance of that happening in a Veteran's Cemetary here.
