As a symbol of the terrible price paid by some to secure the liberty of many , the dead buried at Normandy serve as a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made by Americans for Europeans, and all other peoples whom we have fought to liberate.

It is a point lost on those currently leading the French people, but not on the New Europeans; they have more recently felt the lash of tyranny, and have an affinity for the shining city on a hill that America represents. Leave our dead soldiers to lie in peace, and to inspire the next generation of liberty loving Frenchmen to do their part to secure the God given legacy of freedom their leaders seem to have so little use for ....

To: and the horse you rode in on
I have been to Margartten the last three years to put out Dutch and American Flags; I have been to Luxembough 12-days ago and Bastonge; I was in Normandy/Omaha walking the Ranger route and paying respects; last weekend I did a historical WWII dig on a German/American Battlefield site and found many a item from both armies.... I have been to Aachen, Germany to the German gravesites, where they buired two soldiers together because no soldier should spend etirneity alone after dying in defense of their country.... I've walked the battlefields of WWI where the GAS still hovers over the ground and the bayonets still poke out of the trenches because they pushed soil over the fallen.... Yes I've been here and now I see the Belgium, French and Germans put "pride" ahead of "common"sense and "commen"defense.

You are so right. What I want to know is where do these Reds keep coming from? Everytime I turn around some damn Socialist is attacking our President and defying America. Who's churning these lousy Commies out?
