Alpo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 They may have dredged up some pictures of an old man with medals, to go with this story, but that joke has been going around for ten years that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Jokes on you, Alpo. I'd like to see the Brits and anyone else who was involved in D-Day... or any other part of freeing the French... start a campaign to stay home in protest and lobby anyone they can think of to boycott the French..... including any future help they need saving their ungrateful asses.

The "old man with medals" is secretary of the York Branch of the Normandy Veterans Association. How about a little respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
