If I remember correctly, this is a ceremony/tribute that has been going on for a long time. Given the present tensions between the two countries, the impact of this gesture takes on an even greater significance, I believe. Obviously many French citizens remember our efforts to help them regain their freedom. I wonder if the same sense of thanksgiving can be found in Americans concerning the help France gave us, and helped make July 4th a day for us to celebrate.
