Re: O/T - my prayers go out to everyone in Paris

I agree. No one should ever have to experience what they've gone through.

Re: O/T - my prayers go out to everyone in Paris

 

I have an 80 year old friend who lives in Paris, we spoke 4 days ago.

 

You would love her, a real free spirit, stick figure, flaming (colored) short, red hair, very French, can you say outspoken?  So funny, I love her.

 

She is a fire brand, brave, honorable, and willing to put her feet where her words are, she would be the first to storm the barricades.  

 

Unfortunately, this is not a war of honor, nor, do I think it will be.

 

La Marseillaise
Allons enfants de la Patrie, Arise, 
Le jour de gloire est arrivé ! 
Contre nous de la tyrannie, 
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis) 
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes 
Mugir ces féroces soldats ? 
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras 
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes !

I am a Francophile. I love France and have visited many, many times. I have beloved French friends. This terrorist attack is heartbreaking. I pray that the freedom-loving countries of the world will unite to fight these monstrous Islamic terrorists.
