Thanks for the links. Bush puts some perspective out. Bush tells Europe it is time you repaid US Tuesday May 28th 2002 STANDING above the D-Day beaches of Normandy yesterday, US President George Bush reminded Europe of the debt it owed America for the Second World War and delivered a heartfelt call to arms in the war against terrorism. The American military cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach has elicited memorable speeches from other American presidents, notably Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, and Mr Bush lived up to his predecessors. Under blustery skies and protected by possibly the heaviest security force seen in the region since the war, he said the bond forged between Europe and America in the fight against Nazi Germany had been "renewed" since September 11. "Soldiers in many uniforms are defending the world from threats at this very moment," he said. It was the first time an American president had been abroad for Memorial Day, America's equivalent of Armistice Day. It was no mere accident of scheduling. It reflected Mr Bush's concern that America must not be isolated in the war against terrorism. He began his speech with a mention of home. "We gather in this quiet corner of France as the sun rises on Memorial Day in America," he said. Standing amid the 9,387 gravestones, he said: "Our wars have won for us every hour we live in freedom. Our wars have taken from us the men and women we honour today . . . For some military families in America and Europe, the grief is recent, with the losses we have suffered in Afghanistan. But they can know that the cause is just and like other generations, these generations have spared many others from tyranny and sorrow." He added: "Each person buried here understood his duty, but also dreamed of going back home." Before arriving at the cemetery near Colleville-sur-Mer, Mr Bush accompanied President Jacques Chirac to Sainte-Mere-Eglise, the first town in France liberated on D-Day.
