The Eighth of May is Peace in Europe day - known in the UK and Australia as VE DAY (Victory in Europe). That difference in itself is interesting, and a subject worthy of some thought.
This will be the first time in 3 years that the commemoration service will be "normal". We will be there, because especially this year, it is important. It will be interesting to hear what the President of the Republic has to say in his address to the nation, which is read at ceremonies across France.
Eighth of May 2008 was the first such ceremony Susan and I went to, with her parents who were here at the time.
