Man, that is damn awesome! We talk pretty frequently of war heroes...but how often do you see a real war hero. Tomorrow, you can meet 4 legit war heroes at once. If I were in that area, I would attend in a heartbeat.

My great uncle's memorial in Mitry Mory (just outside of Paris).
Top Plaque:
He came to fight for freedom
To a land he had never seen
For a people he had never met
For his success he gave the ultimate sacrifice
May God bless his soul
