I'm ashamed because I was not the first to speak, Your words convey the Deepest Core of my feelings.
Ten Thousand Nine Hundred and Fourty Three White Crosses on Normandy Beach are burning in my mind, How many were my boyhood friends and neighbors I'll never know, and how many other American Servicemen are buried in Unmarked Graves over all Continents of this Planet, That died so that all who really seek freedom Shall have a place to live.
"NEVER, LET US FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE",
OR EVER ALLOW OTHERS TO DO SO"!
My heart is Also Heavy for Those Brave Frenchmen who were the First to Lay Down Their Lives for Freedom. And for Those that Followed to Lay Down Their Lives in assisting our forefathers to Realize The Freedom That We Hold With Such Fierceness!
I have Shame in My Heart As I hear the words of their Decendants Who Are Now the Government of Their Land and I Too Feel the Shame That They Must Feel Even In Death for having been So Betrayed by Those to Whom They Passed The Torch of Freedom From Their Dieing Hands".
Let Us Not Now Forget Our Friends As Their New Leaders Have!
