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.
