"Yes, but I think we have paid that debt in spades, no?"

And then some. We spilled a lot of blood upon her shores.

And they built a memorial to it. France has been a very busy country, what with surrending, socialism, communism, a hundred constitutions a decade, and God knows what -ism, but I think that in the long run they are a good ally. A recent memorial from the French Ambassador to the U.S.:

"Mr. President,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

France does not forget! I want to express the profound gratitude of my country to all the veterans who risked their lives in this great and decisive battle. The Memorial we are inaugurating today is a well-deserved tribute to the young men and women who fought in Normandy. Thanks to them, the ideals upon which our two nations have been founded remain the solid bases of our societies. They also remain the fundamental inspiration of the extraordinary French-American friendship and alliance that transcends the centuries. On behalf of the French people, your oldest ally, allow me to say, once again,

thank you America!

God bless the United States!"
