Honoring the American Fallen Soldiers with roses in France: The largest American Cemetery in Europe

[@rexb2918]

As a veteran I appreciate you showing respect to our fallen heroes. Thank you Marie love your channel.

[@gravitypronepart2201]

Yes, same here.

[@escabrosa1]

Yes, what I was thinking. I'm retired U.S. Army and I really appreciate the sentiment. Touching.

[@preble316]

I'm an American and want to thank you for continuing to care about those who lost their lives for freedom, in the liberation of France and the world for that matter. I commented last year and will again now... Vive La France, Vive la liberté. I enjoy your videos and thank you again. --A friend from "across the pond".

[@user-David-Alan]

Marie you a hero of your generation to realize the sacrifices other generations have made for our freedom. I can't thank you enough for your attention to details in your videos. I am a veteran and my grandfather fought in WW1 and my father in WW2 and we would all thank your parents for raising such a wonderful young adult as yourself. Please keep up the great work you do informing people of this history. Your countryside was beautiful. Stay well and be safe.

[@stephenousby737]

My father, an American, fought at battles in Argonne. In one particular battle he was the only one to come out alive in his unit. He would be immensely proud that you laid flowers there and of the cemetery that the French people have built. Thank You

[@penultimateh766]

Well, it was build by the US Government, but the French people did and do donate the land and allow it to remain their perpetually.

[@MrThebirddog]

Your father? My great Uncle died in at this battle and he would be 135 years old now.

[@stephenousby737]

@@MrThebirddog If my father was alive he would be 128 years old. He was born in 1895 and he had a 2nd family late in life. I was born in 1949. if you do the math you can see it's true. It's always been a little strange to me that my father was born in the late 1800's.

You brought this U.S. veteran to tears. Thank you for taking the time. Love from USA. Some might say "those boys never got to make it home" well as an American veteran I'd say they did. Because France is family. Our nations owe one another our existence. Viva la France.

[@chrisb7198]

@@squamishfish She visited the Canadian Cemetery in Normandy. Many countries took part not all are always mentioned but the list is long. Keeping these memories alive and bringing the past to those of her generation is paying homage to all. This old American remembers Canadas sacrifice and continued friendship.

[@squamishfish]

@@chrisb7198 Thank you , Yes many did , Also little known about the Canadian contribution was that Canada had the third largest Navy by the end of the war , It’s main focus was protecting convoys going to the UK and Russia from North America , and South America, Not big Battle ships but frigates and Destroyers main functions anti submarine,

[@chrisb7198]

@@squamishfish Yes some of the warships were I think donated to Canada from the U.S.. We tried to give you other allies what you needed and then you guys put it to good use. The first ships were a part of the moth ball fleet in WWII in rough shape but when we got rolling out new ships I think you got a few top line models. Canada helped along the coasts of N. America and also in the Caribbean theater as well if my old mind remembers correctly. We will still fight you come hockey season but always friends in time of trouble.

[@hoss6048]

@@squamishfishI’ll tell ya why this always happens. The Canadians died with honor just like the rest. No one disrespects that. If it was nearly 120,000 deaths like the Americans had in WW1 ….or 420,000 American deaths in WW2 we’d be talking about Canadians all the time, not American…

[@barrystrachan6340]

I appreciate how respectful you are with these videos about the two world wars. Here is a poem written by a Canadian soldier...John McCrae that has great meaning for most Canadians: In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

[@SCVIndy]

Thank you for being so respectful of our fallen soldiers. You are a wonderful young lady.

[@davidsartin5708]

Ms. Marie, Thank you so much. I was in tears from your very first "Thank You For Your Service." I was honored by your respect for all the lost services men and women. You are a wonderful young lady. Be safe and always in good health.

[@phillipdaltun3779]

It's Sweet & Heaven sent of you Marie to make such a Respectable & fitting Tribute for all those Sacrifices, a beautiful sentiment to give out flowers throughout, I like to believe they are grateful & smiling from above especially from a young french lady like yourself, Lest we forget. 🏛️ 🙏 💐 They did a great job with the grounds & monuments organising everything, most informative with all the items for visitors & family's that lost love ones there, it's heartbreaking seeing the wall of those that are missing hopefully there at peace now. I'm glad you let everyone know with the book that You & on our behalf with all the veterans have been there. Thanks for this whole trip, it's probably been kind of a pilgrimage for you, hopefully while reflecting it didn't take to much of a toll & you enjoyed like I did the scenic drive back home, your a wonderful soul,Take care. 💗 🧭 ✌️

Young lady you have just put this old vet in tears. Your respect is so very rare these days. Thank you.

French guy here. Your sacrifice is not forgiven. I am breathing free air, as my children are, thanks to these guys. My gran great father died in April 1918, his body never to be recovered. I know a thing or two regarding the mia's. Long live the US of A.

[@The1cdccop]

My grandpa's uncle died in Belleau Wood, WW1, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. Grandpa enlisted in the Army and jumped in France with the 101st, WW2. He made it home. Young people in the USA don't stop and think what the people of Europe lived through: 1914-1945. You people lost almost two entire generations of young people between both world wars.

[@jeffwarren6906]

God bless the memory of your Great Grand Father Sir . My grandfather was a US soldier in France 1918 .. Long live France & USA

[@gravitypronepart2201]

Marie, thank you from my heart for your visit there, and for this video. If Levi, Peter, Grover, Gabriel, Joseph and Swin could look down on this scene, to see a sweet young French Lady placing roses at their grave, I'm sure they would feel that their sacrifice had meaning. They would be touched by you, and I know all American veterans who see this are as well. God bless you. My Granddad Ed Self Went to war with his fellow Americans there, and came home alive. I grew up wondering why he was deaf in one ear, and missing two fingers. I found out later he was deafened by artillery fire. But after he returned he became a cowboy working for a stock yard in California. He actually lost his fingers in a roping accident, not in the war! He became the forman there and retired in Pamona. He loved us grandkids so much.

[@wendeln92]

Such a wonderful video. It was extremely nice of you to lay the flowers at the graves and recognizing the contributions of the U.S. to help end The Great War, my maternal grandfather (a Sicilian immigrant) served in the U.S. Army and made it home. Merci Marie, you are such a lovely and intelligent young woman. Dieu benisse les Poilus

I been to this military cemetery back in the mid 2000, while I was there I did see some school children there in the cemetery.

[@pastherfuzz]

[@davidwillett3372]

The soldier who died on Nov. 10, 1918 is heartbreaking. Armistice was literally the following day.

[@raymondmanderville505]

Many of the officers knew the war would end & they wanted to get into combat before it was to late . So there are quite a few casualties from the day before & right up to the 11am cease-fire .

[@donaldball3245]

The very DAY that Kaiser Wilhelm II was toppled from power... I wonder if he was aware of it happening...

[@kenardturner7173]

One more day and they would have lived and gone home. Unfortunately the peace only lasted for about 21 years then WWII started. The war to end all wars was only a temporary fix.

[@kingjellybean9795]

I was about to say the same thing, truly sad. Have you ever listened to the audio of the end of ww1. It's terrifying and heart breaking, it's impossible to convey all the emotions of those final moments. You seem like a person who'd appreciate it. I suggest finding it, it's definitely on youtube.

[@FuzzyMarineVet]

Even the clouds were crying! Marie, you are amazing.

[@georgelicerio6806]

You are beautiful showing your thoughts and paying respects to the fallen soldiers

[@donrichter3523]

So few realize, there are 12 American cemeteries in France, far more than any other country. God bless you for honoring the dead as sooo many Americans died in France. Our debt to France for assistance in our Revolutionary War has been repaid in blood many times over. No question, without the French, I doubt we could have won our Revolution.

[@juliehillman8743]

There are over 45 cemeteries for British and Commonwealth soldiers in France. Don't forget that many servicemen were also lost there during the 1st World War. Many soldiers were also buried by villagers in their local cemeteries. They honoured the men by tending their graves. There are thousands more in unmarked 'war graves'. Left where they fell. 'Served together, fought together, died together, buried together'. Hopefully, France is grateful the British don't hold grudges.

[@ZekeMM25]

Thank you Marie. Your nation’s young men suffered horribly in both World Wars so please remember them as well. God Bless you and France.

[@briangreen9677]

Marie, it's videos like this that really make me wish we all could do something to lift your spirits after you go to these heavy places. Seeing the weight of these places on your shoulders is touching. I brought three buddies back from the Middle East in pine boxes. I escorted them home and met with their loved ones. We used shirt garters from the military to pull the flag in so it hugged the coffin. Seeing the families lose it when they saw the flag-draped coffin for the first time is probably the most emotionally destructive thing I've endured. I didn't mind the combat and I'm fine with it to this day, but bringing my battle buddies home took all I had. I miss them every day. Military cemeteries are truly special places filled with true patriots and selfless people who gave their all for the freedoms Americans enjoy to this day. Remember, our flag doesn’t fly because of the wind that moves it. It flies with the breath of every fallen soldier who protected it. Marie, I hope you find something positive to see and experience. Those men in those cemeteries were there protecting France, among other nations. They died so that your family could exist and you could be born and have these amazing adventures. Live every day abundantly. When I watch your channel it feels a little like I'm watching my little sister (even though we're not related), and I just want you to be happy and have incredible experiences. I hope you smile and laugh today. That's what matters.

I worked most of my adult life as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. I'm now in my mid 60's and have moved from the Pacific North West to a South Western State where it is Hot and nice warm winters. My body is broken, and I can't take the cold any more. I miss all my friends, and my brother and sister. I have found a Church to go to, but still feel all alone. Your video did warm my heart, and put a tear in my eyes. Thank you.

[@dirtcop11]

Another lovely video. You are a very sweet and respectful young woman. You said your birthday is November 10. My birthday is November 3. There are a lot of years in difference, though. I never realized that there were that many soldiers buried in France. I have been to the Only US WWI memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. In fact, I was an inspector that worked with the remodeling of the memorial. If you get a chance to see it that would be nice. If you ever visit Kansas City, there are some interesting museums. One is the Nelson-Atkins Museum. It has the world's largest Badminton Birds on the lawn. The museum contains priceless paintings and sculptures.
