Today is Memorial Day in the U.S.
As a French kitty, I was told by my French human that it was important not to forget that we were free today, because people, many of them American, fought and continue to fight for our freedom.
So we wanted to simply say thank you.
The picture used in this montage in honor of American soldiers was taken by my human on Memorial Day 2011, at the Suresnes American cemetery, near Paris.
Every year, the city hall of Suresnes, along with representatives of the American Battle Monuments Commission organize a special ceremony to honor American soldiers who fell on French territory, to say thank you and remember, and to renew the friendship between our two countries.
This posting made mom VERY happy. Thank you.
Wonderful photo montage and sentiments.

I’m impressed and love the photo. Sorry Tex, I haven’t visited in awhile. TW gets all sidetracked even though she claims to never have computer time to look at sites SHE wants to look at.
