This Memorial Day even is the premier USMC Memomorial Day event, on which the Corps spends about 850K per year...with ACMC in attendance this year. Throughout the 2 weeks surrounding the event, there are a great many stories that can and should be highlighted of cooperation between US and French soldiers. As the website says, France is our oldest ally, and to have a brief video about this, the greatest of all USMC ceremonies, is missing opportunities.
