Gratitude is not one of mankind's most common virtues. To illustrate, consider the following facts:
The United States has in The American Cemetery at Aisne-Marne, France, a total of 2,289 of our military dead.
In the The American Cemetery at Ardennes, Belgium, a total of 5.329 of our dead.
The American Cemetery at Brittany, France, a total of 4,410 of our military dead. Please excuse us for taking up space in your land, France.
Brookwood, England, American Cemetery. A total of 468 of our dead.
Cambridge, England. 3,812 of our military dead.
Epinal, France, American Cemetery. A total of 5,525 of our military dead.

That's over 100,000 we have buried in Europe to save their hides. How many French, Dutch, Italians, Belgians, and Brits are buried on our soil, defending us against our enemies?
There are a lot of people in France and elsewhere who appreciate what America has done for them. But it would be nice if the talking mouths of those countries showed a little respect.
And, of course, we have a President who runs around the world apologizing for his country. He's the sorriest apology for a President this nation has ever had.
