I was there in 1997,the day Lady Diana died.When hearing me speaking french with my bro(he used to live in Philae),people in the streets stared at us "aren't you ashamed to be french????"...Nice souvenir,héhéhéhé....
The memorial wall for Viet Nam casualties let me on my ass....One thing sure ,you Americans,you know how to give goose bumps....
For the vid,i was so proud of this man,so simple,with his poor words of English,he managed to break the heart of the whole family of Amos.
I think the youngest of the family were to come back to the States with a high opinion of their homeland....

Well, I will not apologize for some of my fellow country men, but I will apologize that you were left with that memory of some jerk! I'll be honest with you, Seb, I don't like a$$holes like that either! LOL My parents are immigrants to this country and have spoken "bad" english their whole lives, so I know how you must feel.

Last episode received yesterday...

A bitter end my friends...

"Monsieur Sebastien,



We received your voicemail message last year; however, we did not clearly understand your email address and did not know how to contact you. We tried to email modelchip, modelship, medalchip and medalship- none of us guessed that it was actually modelkit.



My mother did receive the bracelet a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it is not my father’s bracelet. The number on it does not match the number we have on a similar bracelet and on other army documentation in our possession. In addition, the bracelet was engraved with “love mom and dad.” My father’s mother died when he was 9 years old, so any of his personal items would not have referred to his mother.



My father often proudly spoke about fighting in France and in the Battle of the Bulge. Even though he was a secretary in the Generals’ tent, a bomb exploded near him. He had a concussion and awoke in an England hospital upon the end of the war. Even though the bracelet is not my father’s (he died in 1994), I know that he would have been very excited to hear about it.



I looked up the bracelet number on the internet and it appears as if the true owner was from New York when he enrolled in the army. Would you like me to forward the bracelet to the army division responsible for reuniting veterans with their lost belongings?



As we celebrate Memorial Day on Monday, I want to thank you for your efforts in reuniting war artifacts with their owners. I know that my father would have been very happy to hear of your work.

Happily,this man is a real gentleman.
My contact in the US Embassy in Paris says that it was not a child's game to find the real descendant,even for the first Army in the world..
Well,well,i have replied this Mr Marciniak to send me his phone number,for me to gives him details and explanations .Then i surely will give him the mail of my man in the Embassy.
But believe me that i was quite disappointed,no need to say.

Nevertheless, a great effort indeed!

This is the sort of detecting that this forum is happy to be associated with and does credit to the many honest detectors out there.

Well done sir and congrats on being given recognition for your efforts.
