[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]To be sure, France owed America a nice thank-you card for D-Day. But we owe them a more. Without France, the United States wouldn't even exist--it would still be a British colony. [/QUOTE]Paid that particular debt in WWI with a larger level of assistance than they gave us. (I don't recall many French ground troops joining in the battle, they stayed in their boats, with few exceptions, like the Marquis de Lafayette - who we named a county in my state for.. where's Eisenhower Province in France?) Paid AGAIN in WWII, to a much greater extent, as I also don't recall French forces landing on the beaches and fighting to re-take New York when Washington had to abandon it. Paid AGAIN during the Cold War, with the placing of American troops in harm's way in the most likely Warsaw Pact invasion route, and DESPITE the French pulling out from the military arm of NATO.
