Yesterday,
gathered at the base of the chapel overlooking Paris, visitors joined local
officials and members of the military for speeches, prayers, wreath laying and
the raising of both the French and American flags with their respective
anthems. Looking up into the clear blue sky, those in attendance also had a
brief glimpse of an American F16 as it roared overhead.
It truly was a special occasion. For those
unable to attend the ceremony, the cemetery and chapel remain open
year round for visits.
