| France: American symbols removed at Normandy Battle Museum |
| 2003-07-01 |
| From the blog The Dissident Frogman": I'm just coming back from Normandy and still have to unpack, but I wanted to offer you a new game to play, particularly if you're in for a D-Day tour this summer. If you planned it, you may want to cancel your visit to the Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie (Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy) in Bayeux. Unless you would like to play this game, I told you about. It's called: "Guess what's missing at a museum dedicated to the Battle of Normandy, 1944?" Let's see if you're as good at this game as the dissident frogman: 1) Guess what's missing on an empty pole, around a monument to the liberators in the Museum's park up front? 2) Guess what's missing in an empty space in the lapel pin's display case at the Museum's shop? 3) Guess what's missing on an empty pedestal on top of the Museum shop's checkout, at the exit? [The answer to all is the American flag. Go to the web site and see the photographic evidence.] That game is piece of cake right? I could fire up a ferocious comment but I'm still disgusted by these three "coincidences". What's more, I couldn't get any lucid and convincing explanation for this "fortuitous" accrual. |
