Paula and I attended the memorial service at Draguignan Sunday. For the last 65 years the French and American citizens gather at this memorial cemetery to honor the brave young men and women who gave their lives in our country's service. They came from every State except North Dakota, some came from District of Columbia an Puerto Rico. The 861 headstones are arranged in a straight line .
