Reflexions after the veterans ceremony

 

I thought the ceremony was very moving: I was really happy to be part of it. Having veterans being given the “Legion d’honneur” was something everyone was looking forward to seeing. I think the ceremony was perfect: with a powerpoint, a little music, there was everything to keep the audience’s attention. It taught me a lot: the text I read because it was very moving: talking about deaths and the soldiers’ families. Going onstage after the ceremony and getting to talk to the veterans was also a very interesting experience!

It was very emotional to participate in this ceremony because first my great grandparents were in the war; unfortunately I didn’t know them so it was good to meet some members of this generation and I have saw that some of the GI’s were in really good health. Then I felt the intense emotion during this ceremony because I really felt it was more than important for most of the GI’s.
