This is a powerful story in history. Only a few Americans are alive now who lived in those times. I would guess that a lot of college students are not aware of these places, or how they happened. Sad commentary...

Our cemeteries in Europe 

Pictures can't capture the atmosphere

in them.  The one in Luxembourg is

where Patton is laid to rest...

at the head of his men!

Apologize to no one.  Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse arrogance with leadership.  The count is 104,366 dead, brave Americans.   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... AFTER DEFENDING US  AGAINST OUR ENEMIES?   WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE...BUT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!   Americans, forward it! Non-patriotic, delete it! Most of the protected don't understand it.   DO THINK ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU.
