Celebrating a day of victory !
August 28, 1944
{69 years later}
Toulon and Marsaille were liberated from German occupation.
The Americans and the French joined forces.
The US Seventh Army, formed in Corsica, worked with the French resistance
to defeat the German Army Group G.
Nancy and I were working at the Christian bookstore, when this happened.
A parade for us... HAHA !!!
I wonder why I like this picture so much ;)
These guys were all French, but there was one American veteran in the procession (not pictured, but he's in the video). When I saw him, I got a little teary-eyed. Freedom is such a blessing,
and it's definitely not free.
and it's definitely not free.
Classic. Cell phones. Cigarette. Cute dress. Peace sign.
Santa Barbara, California. =)
I loved seeing the two flags flying together !!!
If you're like me, pictures are sufficient, but sometimes it's fun to see stuff in action.
If you've got 3 minutes, give this video a whirl.
