A lot of Americans think that the French are ungrateful snobs but I found that
to be untrue. The above is a good example. When visiting there a few years ago
we drove up Liberty Road, the road that Patton's Third Army took liberating France.
It runs from the beach at Normandy, across France, all the way to Bastogne in Belgium.
Every kilometer there is a commemorative marker at the side of the road.
