edna Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Paris is liberated from the nazis by the American Troops That was 65 years ago. America sort of saved the world. There were also soldiers from other countries among the Liberation Forces but we Frenchs and Jews don' t forget. One year later, the war was over. THANK YOU, AMERICA!!!

Kevin Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 While , without a doubt , America shouldered most of the cost and involved a large amount of equipment and manpower , I think vets from Britain , Poland , Canada , Australia , the Free French , etc. may feel a little left out by your gratefulness .

Kevin Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I already thanked them all on Facebook... mainly the Spaniards (Republicans), who are still offended for being excluded from the Marshall Plan. Indeed . The first REAL fight against fascism has been largely lost to memory , as it just wasn't 'sexy' enough history - and a little too 'Red' , or the proportions of the conflict were too small, I guess .

Shawna Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Galileo's telescope is 400, American is liberating Paris, and yet the most important event that ever occurred on this day in history is MY SON WAS BORN 16 YEARS AGO TODAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 The entire month of August, I have been having an exposition of 88 of my photos (the most I've ever shown to the public) at Solar do Rosario, one of the best known art galleries in this city of 3 million. The theme is The City Of Curitiba and Those Who Work To Make Her Better. Our television equivalent to E! News did an interview with me, my wife and the gallery director to kick off the show earlier this month. It is now on YouTube here. The exhibition portion doesn't start until :55 seconds into the piece. So far I have sold 4 pieces, one (shown at 1:40 of the clip) to Vera Holtz, a fairly big time Brazilian movie/TV star visiting Curitiba from Rio. When she was walking through the gallery you could hear the buzz. She was very kind in her words about my collection being shown. I have also gotten invitations by other gallery owners to show in two more venues over the next 6 months. That's what it takes to get exposure.
