This is going to be BIG in France tomorrow, even if the rest of the world is unmoved.
Even a lot of former German soldiers have come to be part of the event.

I am wondering if I need to phone my stepfather & gently try to elicit his reaction. He is not a fan of President Obama, but he was part of the Normandy invasion and has visited there since. Hope Obama gives a speech that melts hearts.

You can bet he will.
Places like that bring out the best speeches in men.
I wish him all the best.

It is the last significant anniversary where there will be many vets left, I fear.
I was working hard all weekend; missed the speech.
hwinpp, I'm sure Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Queen, if she is on hand, would give fine speeches as well.
