Love it. Just love it. Some still do care over there.

It was amazing. We did color guard ceremonies at memorials in Luxembourg (there are 300+ memorials to Allied soldiers there), toured where dad had gone along with guys from his outfit. They were treated like heroes everywhere we went. At the final big dinner, Gen. Patton’s granddaughter was the guest speaker. Patton is buried with his men in Luxembourg at his request. We went to a ceremony there, she placed a wreath on his grave. The graveyard has a big display of all the troop movements, incredible.
