We do not need anyone to apologize to the world because of the brave men and women that gave their lives protecting the freedom of others.
What do you believe is the truth, do our fathers, and grandfathers, die for nothing?
They would not have ever apologized to anyone, like the man said on D day, there was not on french man to check his passport.
You know it is amazing how ignorant some people can be about History…
The next time you hear someone talking about things they do not understand, remind them…
This I received forwarded by a patriot, I think is a good read.
JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaule said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded,
“Does that include those who are buried here” DeGuale did not respond.

When in England ,
at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’ by George Bush. He answered by saying,
“Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.”

There was a conference in France
where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them” A Boeing engineer
stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships;
how many does France have”

A U.S. Navy Admiral
was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S.., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French” Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…
Robert Whiting,
an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport
in his carry on. “You have been to France before, monsieur” the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting
admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.” The American said,
“The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it..” “Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !” The American senior
gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D‑Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.
