The 22nd Commemoration in Paris of the September 11, 2001 (911 9-11) Attacks Anniversary

A l'occasion du 22eme anniversaire des attentats du 11 septembre, un hommage organisé par la Mairie du 16ème Arrondissement a été rendu aux victimes devant l'Arbre de la Liberté sur la Place des États-Unis.

Parmi les nombreux participants, dont the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) et the American Legion Paris Post 1, on a pu reconnaître Erik Svane (holding his Navy Jack), Paul Reen, et Marie-Thérèse Foreau de RIF, ainsi que les porte-drapeaux Gary (Nadeau) Nadolski et Gigi (Laîné) Nadolski.

The American national anthem and La Marseillaise were both performed.




"It's not often that a Marine manages to bring me to tears,"
I said to the colonel who mentioned Rick Rescorla and
Todd "Let's roll" Beamer in his speech, "but you managed it"
