Sarkozy's Recent Visit

It's about time someone said this,
French President Sarkozy:

"The United States and France remain true to the memory of their common history. Our duty is to remain true to the blood spilled by our children on both sides of the Atlantic in common battles.

"France will never forget the sacrifice of your children," Sarkozy said, referring to US involvement in World War II and the arrival of American troops on the beaches of Normandy to liberate the France from the Nazi occupation.

"At a time when my country had reached the final limits of its strengths, the time when France was exhausted, had spent its strength in the most absurd and bloodiest of wars, France was able to count upon the courage of american soldiers," he said.

"I have come to say to you on behalf of the French people that never, never will we forget that," he said.
