Thanks you for doing this my brother. You sir are an honorable man. And have more American pride then most Americans today.
My wife bought me a smart phone for Christmas and I am still getting used to it...Last night when I got home I was telling her about Sylvain and what he does for us here on INGO and our fellow countrymen resting in Normandy....I was telling her and I had a "Duh" moment and said "Here honey, let me pull it up on my phone and just show you..." I did and handed her my phone....
She read through the thread and when she finished she had tears in her eyes...She then said, "Tell that boy if he ever comes to the US he has a place in Indiana to stay and he won't pay for a meal..."
I told her Sylvain could spend a month in Indiana from north to south and east to west and never be less than five miles from a meal and a place to stay...
God bless you and yours Sylvain....
Huge thanks to Chris, aka Dirtebiker, for the flag.
It was not easy making it fly with a 30 mph wind but I managed to do it.
Since it was the high tide I couldn't plant the pole directly into the sand and with that much wind I had to find something heavy to secure it.
TRES BIEN!!
A convenient fallen bunker provided a sturdy stand.
And what a better image than the star sprangled banner flying on top of a destroyed German bunker on D-Day?
Mistake fixed!
