Normandy Vet Tells France Where They Can Put Their Medal
I heard this piece first last night on the BBC, but now I can’t find that story on the BBC’s site, but here is the story from AP about a an 80-year-old WWII vet (thrice wounded and captured as a prisoner of war) who is flying to Washington to return his Normandy Medal to the French embassy as a protest over their proposed U.N. veto. The BBC interview was much more detailed than this AP piece, so if anyone knows how I can track that down, I’d love to link to it there. The funniest part was at the end of the interview when the vet said he was going to tell the French where they could put the medal.
