French
Government to Honor WWII Vets
French President Jacques Chirac has announced his government
is looking for veterans who participated in the campaign
for the liberation of France during World War II. President
Chirac has authorized the decoration of 100 World War
II veterans each year with a special Legion of Honor
award to recognize the sacrifice made by U.S. Forces
and to express the gratitude of the French people for
liberating them from German occupation. The French Embassy
plans to award the first of these special decorations
to veterans in Washington, D.C. in January 2005. To
be considered, veterans should provide a short letter
explaining the conditions in which they served in the
liberation of France, a copy of their discharge papers
and any other documentation that may help verify their
participation, including U.S. medals and the French
croix de guerre. Because of the short lead time, veterans
wanting to participate in the first January ceremony
in Washington, D.C., should contact Lieutenant Colonel
Denis Millot at 703-784-2349 or Sergeant Major Thierry
Fiorini at the French Embassy at 202-944-6502.
