60 years ago, on Aug 15th 1944, American
troops landed in Provence. That landing was less spectacular
than the landing in Normandy, but we must remember it. Since
we are very close from this anniversary, we want to say THANK
YOU to these soldiers who risked their lives to free France and
Europe.
These pictures have been given to us by
Julian Mitchell who participated to that event, and landed
at the place where we have now a vacation house. One day, he
visited my wife's store in Wellesley, MA, because he heard about
that store dedicated to Provence. For that, he drove from Rhode
Island (he is in good shape, but no longer a young man...), and
spoke with us about his landing, and the visits he makes almost
every year to Cavalaire. And so, we discovered that Julian Mitchell
landed exactly where, now, we have a vacation home.
THANK YOU JULIAN !
and THANK YOU TO ALL THE SOLDIERS WHO LANDED
IN FRANCE 60 YEARS AGO. |
