...frankly,I'm concerned for my safety and that of my parents but Sophia's brother Nicky has assured me that he still has the AK-47s and ammo clips....

Puh-leez. You and Nicky going to take out a few Pallies, after the wedding?

Put your borderline hysteria and emotional baggage to one side for a moment and stick to the facts, Milburn. Which are, that countless French men and women risked and lost their lives fighting the Nazis, while your grandfather was baking in Queens. Here's one example every Australian knows :

Nancy Wake was the Allies' most decorated servicewoman of WWII, and the Gestapo’s most-wanted person. They code-named her 'The White Mouse'. When war broke out she was a young woman married to a wealthy Frenchman living a life of luxury in cosmopolitan Marseilles. She became a saboteur and Resistance fighter who led an army of 7,000 Maquis troops in guerrilla warfare to sabotage the Nazis. Her story is one of daring, courage and optimism in the face of impossible odds.
