For instance it's quite a picture as we go through towns that we've just liberated and see the joyous French civilians displaying the French colors again. These happy faces in some way seem to compensate for the rougher phases of this life. In fact one of mv most vivid moments has to do with a flag, the American flair. The story is this: Our tanks had 5nst taken a town and as we passed through we were showered with bouquets, appl*s. pears, handed bottles of wine. Cognac and champagne "and given several dozen eggs. Last but not least was a small American flag, the type we used to attach to our radiator caps for holidays back home. It was a"ite faded and I strongly susnect that it was eiven to these people in 1917. kent hidden dnrintr the Nazi occupation and bjrrueht out when we arrived. We put the flag on our ieep and a fiW towr«s further on as the column came to halt, several French people gathered around our vehicle. After several minutes of handshaking1 pnd greetings from all I noted a middle aged lady staring avidly at our flag. On an impulse I offered the miniature Old Glory. When she finally understood that it was hers as a gift, midst many excited "Merci, Monsieur!" she grabbed it and ran into a building. When she next appeared she was leaning out a third story window joyously waving the flag and shouting to the troops below. There was something about that little episode that I shall not forget in a long time. Earl. , We also get quite a kick out* of giving the French children candy, gam and fruit bars from our K rations. A lot of these youngsters hae never seen any such delicacies, having been bom after the Nazi occupation. That brings to .mind another little incident. About five little children were gathered by our vehicle seeking "Bon bon." "chocolate," and "cigarette for papa." As we were trying to dole out what we had so that none would be slierhted. a lady came up and in amazingly unbroken English said "I hope you won't think my little ones are beergars. but you see it's so long since the older ones have tasted any fffeets and the y>wmpe«t have never Boxleitner, rf ........
