Usually, people give slack to France for not supporting us going into the Iraq War and our big drum up to the never ending and very difficult to define "War on Terror". However, it seems some old school Frenchmen remember the strong ties we had to France during WWII. 2500 citizens of France met on Omaha Beach in Normandy and inscribed these words in the sand:
"FRANCE WILL NEVER FORGET"
Commemorating the liberation of France by the Americans during WWII.
I thought that was a pretty cool find. You can click on the title link from the French Consulate in Atlanta, but I pretty much told the story.
