Bastille day
Happy Bastille Day!
My father's family had some French cousins, and back before the scourge of World War I, the French family would visit Dad's family in the U.S. to celebrate the fourth of July here. Then, they would all board the steamer back to France to celebrate Bastille Day in France. Dad and his side of the family were actually trapped in France during the outbreak of the war while on one of those visits and spent an entire year in Brittany while awaiting a safe opportunity to return to the U.S.
Our family continues to celebrate both holidays to this day.

Obviously, given these French connections, Walldon, you hate America and love the terrorists. Oh yes, you hate our freedoms, too.
