I know this issue well and Polish policy does NOT apply to graves!

Re: FRANCE -> rewinding a few months to July of this year. The Anniversary of Bastille Day.

President Trump was not expected to attend France’s Bastille Day, which this year will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into World War I.

But then he learned there would be a military parade.

French President Emmanuel Macron told Trump in a June 27 phone call about the event, which this year will feature U.S. and French troops marching through the historic streets near the Arc de Triomphe, fighter jets cutting through the skies above, and flags, horses and military equipment on display — the sort of spectacle that Trump wanted to stage at his own inauguration in January.

“It’s the 100th anniversary of the American entry into World War I — it’s a beautiful symbol,” François Heisbourg, a former French national security adviser under presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, said in an interview. “It’s also a reminder to Trump and to those in France that there’s a century of transatlantic history here, and that the not-so-subliminal history is quite strong.”

Fast forward to now:

In return, President Macron will be President Trump's first official guest to a State Dinner at the White House.
