Remember the Marines in the Pacific did this same thing, over and over and over again.

Here's a site with some interesting pictures, then/now, of the Liberation of Paris. When the allies got close, the citizens and denizens of Paris grew a pair and rose up against their captors. BEWARE: There is an auto-starting video ad with sound (French), way at the bottom of the page.

I only see a couple cards repeated there. It's amazing that there is such a wide variety of cards for a 90th birthday. Can't be much call for it.

The Gent pictured surrounded by birthday cards is Bernard Jordan who absented himself from his care home in order to make his own way to the D-Day Commemorations in France. The 'whippersnapper' who parachuted from the aircraft is Jock Hutton. I take my hat off to both of them.

OK, sorry, my mistake.
 You know how all those white people look alike, especially the old ones.
