I happened to run into this in my travels. I am a WW1 and 2 buff so had to stop and take a look. You see monuments all over France like this. The French really do love Americans. I can tell you that from experience .
Driving through the small villages in rural France it is like nothing has changed in a hundred years...no influx of commercialism, for the most part. I can imagine the American G.I.'s ( boys) walking through these old stone towns,voices echoing, bringing freedom and liberation for the people to return to their lives without threat of war. How the people must have loved them.
I will never lose my patriotism nor my love of my country although I fear it is in serious decline. Not sure I will ever go back.
