Tell me after you read this story from the BBC about the horrible crime some French have committed against our most honored veterans, living and dead, by defacing memorial markers in a British WWII cemetery in northern France. For me, it's beyond belief.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2907701.stm

These memorials were erected after the war to honor 10's of thousands British and American soldiers who were killed in battle in that region liberating that country from the Nazis.

My mother volunteered and served in WWII as a U.S. Army nurse anesthetist in France just after D-Day to help save thousands of men’s lives in field hospitals, not far from where this happened. And my father, who was aboard some of the Victory ships ferrying soldiers to Europe and wounded back home, through the “u-boat” infested waters and storms of the North Atlantic in winter. And millions of others like them sacrificed so much. Hundreds of thousands of British, Americans, Australians and other true allies, made the ultimate sacrifice in that country.

This is more despicable than anything I could have ever dream of even the French doing. Let them hear from the British, from Americans and from those in the whole world over this horrific crime committed against the memories and the sacred honor of our fallen heroes.

You must stand up in the halls of government and in the streets of every city to a call from the depths of your soul for the entire nation of France to repent for this horrible crime. I pray that our parents and grand-parents, still living in WWII, never see those awful pictures of what some French have done. I fear it too much for them to bear.
