“The French never forget.” — Nico Courtine; Historian; Draguignan, France
Over the last few years, I’ve had a bond with someone in France who really appreciates what Americans have done to keep France free. He is Nico. A former paratrooper, he leads the way in honoring American troops who made the ultimate sacrifice for the French. Yesterday, he sent me a link about one of my hometown heroes. It includes information from a page on my website. It’s an honor to have my work get represented a long way from home. Thank you Nico. It’s an honor.

Two part-time historians a continent apart with similar interests and a bond. It’s a good day.
