didja hear the joke about the old u.s. military veteran who visited paris, and was stopped by security at the airport?
"you americains should know now, monsieur, that you are required to show your passports when you enter france."
the old vet replies: "the last time i was in france i landed at omaha beach and there weren't any frenchmen around!"
This hallowed ground, above the beach at Normandy is the only land in France we should ever worry about again.
