I certainly respect the veterans of WW2, whichever country they fought for. But when it comes to honouring individual surviving veterans, there is even less reason to distinguish between those of one country or those of another.

As for repaying debts, I suppose we will have to wait and see until some opportunity comes along. When such a time comes, I dare say we'll also need that kind of propaganda.

First time I ever see "AmRev", sounds very flashy and modern I have to say... is that your own creation?

I replied to the post that was made, not to the general D-Day celebrations. Blame trzaska. And yes, I dare say De Gaulle has a much higher approval rating than he deserves among Americans, arguably Churchill as well - since both proved to be rather less successful leaders in times of peace than in times of war. Of course, that's only fair since the opposite also holds, that the reputations of American presidents abroad are, obviously, mostly made by their foreign/military achievements. FDR's approval rating here probably does exceed Churchill's or De Gaulle's...
