australia, italy and the economies. each soldier had his arms full of french girls, some crying, others laughing. each girl had to kiss every soldier before she would let him pass. there's nowhere on earth i would rather be today than just where i am. i have had many french couples come up to me praying like children, saying you grand americans, you have done this for us. i only hope the soldiers who died for this cause are looking down upon the world today. the whole world owes this moment of real joy to the heroes who are not here to help enjoy it.
