More D-Day Re-enactors

I was thrilled to see so many people who remembered.



While I was taking photographs, an elderly French gentleman approached me and started speaking to me in French.


I listen quietly, because I don't speak French.  When he finished, I smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't speak French."  Then, I pointed to myself and said, "American."

He smiled, grabbed me with both hands and kissed me on both cheeks.  And then he said, "Merci!  Merci!!"


I suspect he was old enough to remember the Germans.


May we never forget the greatest generation that ever lived.
