Many are not aware of research, dedication and commitment by the French people from children, entire families and people of ll ages to HONOR AMERICANS, preserve, and recreate historic battles after the Dday invasion. Many are not aware of the suffering and loss of French people before and after the invasion, (Le Havre, Picauville), for example. And those that were left, well we tried to survive In that mad world of blood, death and fire And for ten weary weeks, I kept myself alive Though around me the corpses piled higher And when I woke up in me hospital bed And saw what it had done, well I wished I was dead And so now every April, I sit on me porch And I see my old comrades, how proudly they march And the old men march slowly, old bones stiff and sore And the young people ask, "what are they marching for?" But the band plays Waltzing Matilda And the old men still answer the call But as year follows year, more old men disappear Someday no one will march there at all…… Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? #lovemefrance @lovemefrance
