Perna stopped and said, "They have been buried here so long, they are Italians now."
NEVER, they'll never be Italians! GO BLESS THE USA and our Military servicemen and women!

This is so unlike the cemeteries in france...that have been getting vandalized by the very people our people died for.

Nettuno sounds like a great place for real Americans to visit and spend their money.

Back among the graves, Perna was spraying weedkiller on the grass behind the stone of Private Anthony De Cillis, 157th Infantry, 45th Division, killed on May 27, 1944. Down the aisle were other men and boys from Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan, Ohio. That's the same day as my birthday...different year, however...

Perna stopped and said, "They have been buried here so long, they are Italians now."Thank you, Senor Perna, for watching after our dead. You have done it for so long that you are American, now.

I once read, "The U.S. freed France and they may never be forgiven for it."

Don't you think that's a bit harsh? He meant it in the best way possible. It's nice to see someone hasn't forgotten the sacrifices our people have made for the freedom of other people.

See here.
Download the pdf file at the bottom of the page. What a beautiful place.
I'm sure that most people know better than to compare all the brave Americans that have fought and died for others to a few idiots like those in the news recently.
Even the leftist media and almost all the Democrats know better too. That is what makes what they have done recently especially sickening. They spit on the graves of the men buried in Italy and other places around the world.

Sounds like we already spend a lot of money there.

At the rate things are going I have no doubt we will be going back into france in the near future...and it won't be to liberate them.

Bring us back some pictures and post them up here. It would be nice to get you personal impression of the place and the people around there.

Italy has proven itself a worthy ally. Thus, I feel good that it supplies my favorite wines.

Nettuno was one of the landing sites for the Anzio invasion beachhead in early 1944.

Do we pay to maintain all the American cemeteries across Europe?
