[StBernard] MILITARY CEMETERIES IN EUROPE

I can't think of its title, but there is a recently made documentary on the
U.S. military cemetaries throughout Europe. The film shows a stark contrast
between the people and villagers who live near the cemetaries and the rest
of the Europeans. The locals adopt a grave and maintain them, regularly
taking the children with them to teach and remind them of the sacrafice
Americans made to help free them from the Nazis. You learn that in those
European towns and villages American tourists are treated with respect. And
should a killed soldier's decendent visit the grave in the cemetary and it
is learned among the locals, they are treated like family and taken into
their homes.

I'll try to find the documentary and post it here, unless someone knows the
name of it.

Apologize to no one. Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse
arrogance

with leadership. If I added correctly the count is 104,366 dead.

And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and


the Middle East that our country is "arrogant"!

HOW MANY FRENCH, DUTCH, ITALIANS, BELGIANS AND BRITS ARE BURIED

ON OUR SOIL, DEFENDING US AGAINST OUR ENEMIES??

WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE ... BUT WE HAVE ABSOULUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!!

GOD BLESS THE USA ..................
