...YEAH THERE'S More...SAINT-LO, France The D-Day ceremonies on June 6 opened in the American military cemetery over Omaha Beach and ended at the Peace Memorial in Caen. The first event was Franco-American and was dominated by the presence of World War II veterans. The second event was Franco-German, and, alongside veterans of both nations, was marked by the attendance of a large number of young people.
...In Caen, the past was closed, and the future was celebrated - a European future, full of emotions and promises, between two former enemies who had become friends and even "brothers," to quote Chirac....
...On the eve of D-Day ceremonies, an association dedicated to the memory of Saint-Lô as it was before the destruction of the city organized a debate in the local theater involving two veterans, survivors of the bombing of the city and high school students aged 15 to 17.
The title of the debate, suggested by questions from the students, was "The Battle of Normandy, Invasion or Liberation?" It was the first troubling sign of the deterioration of the knowledge and understanding of the past.
The questions from the students were even worse. It was clear they were reading D-Day through the filter of Iraq. Their conversation with the survivors of the bombing of the city was most revealing. How could you welcome Americans as liberators, asked the young boys and girls, after they had reduced your city to ashes? Because "it was a sacrifice for France," replied their elders, shocked by the question
Oh yeah, really grateful:
