True, but were it not for the sacrifices of American Soldiers McCartney would have grown up speaking German and wearing lederhosen if he grew up at all.

Correction: American Servicemen/women.

I understand, but it just struck me as an odd request -- there seems to be some confusion, up thread someone else wrote that McCartney doing this shows he NOT an American -- erm, he's not.

I don't think it a requirement of the rest of the world that they recognize our historical events/celebrations, especially when so many of US don't -- Memorial Day has become just another excuse to party.
