My daughter was in France a few years ago. She had a similar experience. She and some of her classmates were going to school there at the University of Caen. They traveled over to the beaches of Normandy. They went into the cemetery. While in there they saw some young kids being unruly. They chastised them for their behavior, and the kids left.

My daughter saw an elderly French woman. She came up to my daughter and asked, with tears in her eyes, "Are you an American?" My daughter answered, "yes!"

The woman gave her a hug, and thanked her for America's help during the war.

They both had tears in their eyes when they were finished talking.

I did not admit it in my post,but I got a little “misty” that day. I have traveled to a lot of the european countrys,and while there are people that hate America,there are just as many that feel guilty and embaressed by the treatment our country receives from the America haters.
