Today is June 6th and we celebrate the men who fought and died 70 years ago on D-Day (the landing at Normandy). I am reminded in a very special way today by my French family and friends who keep the memory alive and are always eager to express their thankfulness to us, their American liberators. My Dad was one of them.
My cousin, Jean Pierre, wrote to express his deep and heartfelt gratitude. He was only about 5 years old at the time, but he remembers the joy of his parents when the GIs rolled into their little village in southeastern France in the army green jeeps.
The image above comes to you from my friend, Philippe, who has such a knack for photography. The image was taken at one of the anniversaries of the liberation of Metz. The beauty and message are shared with you too.
REMEMBER and ENJOY our freedoms!
