Hubert, your words are quite eloquent.
A Frenchman and Belgian man located a relative of mine's gravesite in France
who served. He wrote this to me:
"I hope that all of this will be a real help for our overseas
friends whose families have also given their blood for our
country (France). Let's never forget."

Yes, there are many who do thank us and give back in most unexpected ways.
