I was pleasantly surprised to receive a package last week containing a letter and a 'Badge of Normandy Invasion 2004' given to all vets who were involved in 1944--it was issued in appreciation for the liberation of France at the 60th Anniversary of the landings--it was sent by the Consul de France in Wash. DC so I guess all is not really lost in our relations with some of France---

Congrats, My Dad was stationed in the Pacific, Navy.

My Father in Law was in the Battle of the Bulge. Army.

What is happening in France is tragic but they have done it to themselves.

My uncle's was presented to him on June 6, 2004 in St. Mère Église, where we met, among many others, a local man who was 5 when the invasion started. It was very touching to see my uncle and him interact.
