gun guru said: (quoted from post at 13:09:53 02/19/10) There are thousands and thousands of USA soldiers buried in France.........I hope that there are some french people that realize what we did for them. (both my grandfathers were in WW2) Not on European ground though. (in the Pacific)

French families adopted graves right after the war and have passed the responsibility down to take care of the grave as far as visiting and taking flowers and washing the cross. Met an older lady about 12 years ago that was bringing flowers to a grave. She spoke a little english and told me and my buddy that, when she was little, the soldier buried in the grave she was tending had taken shelter in her house. He was killed the next morning as he was leaving and once they found out where he was buried, she started visiting the grave. The French ain't all that bad, just that the normal (decent) people don't get the publicity......... There are roads/lanes all around Normandy named after US and Allied Soldiers.
