I would certainly like to express my thanks for the sacrifice made by this soldier. It is very heartening to hear as well that there are still brave men in France as noted here.

It is nice to read a good word about the French after all of the flak that they usually receive in these Forums. Thank you, Frederic K.

We may not hear much about them, but France, and other allies, have sent their best.
