This is particularly poignant in light of the fact that we just passed the 64Th Anniversary of D-Day, and that World War II veterans are dying off everyday.
My grand-daddy( a WWII vet of the Pacific Theatre) always said they would be speaking German if we hadn't saved their sorry butts. This is such a shame. Go read!
From the Timesonline.com
"The names “Thomas and Dorothy” were carved in the bark of one trunk. Another said “Bob and Carma”. Other trees were marked with soldiers’ home states - Iowa, Maine or Alabama - and several bore hearts and the names or initials of a wife or girlfriend.
The beech trees of Saint Pierre de Varengeville-Duclair forest bore a poignant testimony to the D-Day landings for more than six decades.."
YOU HAVE HEARD OF STUCK ON STUPID, TRY BEING STUCK ON LUNATIC!
SOMETIMES FUNNY, SOMETIMES SAD, BUT MOSTLY A CRAZY RIDE!

I like these kinds of memorials better than the official ones usually. This is a shame.
That's pretty amazing stuff. I don't usually read links, but I loved that one.
