Some with the names an unknown soldier, dated June 6, 1944. It’s so far.
There was a employee there on the headstone with the title of a fallen soldier on it. He was rubbing moist sand within the title of the soldier on the headstone and positioned some good flowers on the base.
We requested what the sand was for, and he informed it us made the title stand out nearly gold on the all-white tombstones. He stated it’s for the household. He’ll take an image for the hero’s family members to ship again dwelling.
As we had been about to depart, I heard the sound of faucets and all of the guests stood at consideration and confronted the flag and positioned their arms on their hearts, as I did.
As our flag was lowered, it was folded properly three corners and handed to a household that was there for a go to to a cherished one’s grave. My thanks goes out to the French authorities and folks for caring for this stunning place which means a lot to us in spite of everything these years.

Complaining about Biden
Editor:
Closing in on the primary yr of Joe Biden’s time period as president, let me checklist a few of his most notorious acts:
1. Shutting down the Keystone Pipeline leading to increased gasoline costs by at the very least $1 per gallon.
2. Opening our borders to unlawful aliens or as his administration calls them “Undocumented “.
The result’s hundreds of those people are getting into our nation sponsored by his administration, (our taxpayer {dollars}), plus a lot of them have been uncovered to COVID with none safety for many who are in touch with them.
3. The Afghanistan withdrawal. His hasty exit stranded many Individuals and Afghans and moreover he deserted billons of {dollars} army gear for use by our enemies.
4. COVID. His dealing with of the pandemic has resulted in additional deaths and ineffective restrictions for all Individuals.
His administration continues to lie and reverse itself on this challenge.
5. The financial system. He’s liable for the best inflation enhance in years,
leading to increased prices for items and companies.
6. Overseas Coverage. He’s thought-about a joke by leaders of different nations. Domestically, items are stranded at our ports in Southern California and his plan to unravel this downside has failed.
7. His $trillion social plans usually are not endorsed by most Individuals, they’re imprecise at finest and he needs Individuals to imagine it is going to value them $zero in tax {dollars}.
8. His demeanor. He seems to be confused at finest in public. He denied any data about reimbursing illegals $450,000 per particular person then he reversed his place. Who’s liable for this preposterous “legislation”? Who is absolutely answerable for this nation?
Lastly, his insurance policies are a mixture of fascism and socialism, he’s attempting to alter America by growing authorities management over its residents and taking away a lot of their rights.
