As free citizens, one of our most important responsibilities is to know history.
The plain truth is: we are in debt to those who have come before us.
Our current blessings have not sprung from the earth like a weed. They were planted, cultivated; toil, tears, blood and sweat nourished their soil.
Being human, mistakes were made, yet being human, these were attended to, and the harvest was resumed.
We now live with the bounty of that harvest, and in our vanity and ingratitude we pretend that these treasures have always been a natural part of our existence, so natural indeed that we need do nothing for them to stand, unattended.
Yet the wind carries a whispering truth, that touches one soul here and one heart there, nudging us out of our reverie, and makes us not just look, but see, what we have to lose, should we grow to take our responsibilities too lightly.
We see, hopefully understand, and resolutely commit: we're not going to be the ones that lose all that has been won for us.
Good Vid.

A beautiful tribute to French/American friendship as it once was, and could be again if humanity eventually wins out over incompetence, treason and totalitarian doctrines .
