Tribute to American Veterans - Remembering America's Fallen

Today is Veteran's Day, when we honor all American soldiers who have given their lives in battle. The photo above was taken yesterday, in Paris. Gathered above is a group of students who are demonstrating for justice in their home country, Pakistan. I cannot think of a finer tribute to those men from World War I and World War II who rest eternally in French soil than this picture. Without their sacrifice, France would not be free, and these students would not have the right to express their views in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.

It is unlikely that these students are thinking of that sacrifice. Some of the signs are uncomfortably anti-American. But it is those signs that are the greatest tribute of all, a living testament to the right of the Free to speak out against their government without hesitation or fear of reprisal.
