Those soldiers fought and died for that land

I'm not so sure about that.

American soldiers fought for freedom, the absence of which anywhere in the world threatens that which we enjoy at home. So, in essence, the American soldiers fought for America. The frontline of that war against freedom just happened to be in France.

If leaving the bodies of our heroes in France does nothing else but remind them of the terrible cost of freedom, I say leave them there. If not, let's bring them home.

In the course of fighting for the American cause of freedom and justice, those soldiers fought and died for that land - as well as for the peoples and values of Western civilization. Their 'thin red lines' were on the beaches, the fields, and the forests of France, where they should rest in peace in that land which they fought to liberate. Cheers.
