His father was a G.I. in France during the war. On one day when his father was taking a nap, James went out to find the "Foret du Amor" as the French called it. It was there that the G.I.'s carved their initials and their girl friends' into the trees. He found it, and he found his father and mother's initials on one tree. it was very moving, and I thought it was wonderful that the townspeople had preserved this stand of trees in memory of those who liberated their country. It was a nice way to say thanks to the young Americans who gave selflessly for them. How sad that the elites of France have cut down these trees. Maybe next they will dig up the American graves at Normandy and build a mosque on the site. Thanks for putting this information on your blog. Excellent...sad, but excellent.
