The most poignant story I heard about D-Day was an NPR piece in which Frenchman Joseph Dellecolle honored US soldier Lawrence Davis who landed on Utah Beach on June 14, 1944. Davis was killed five days later liberating M. Dellecolle's hometown.

Too often the public face of French sentiment on American policy is anger. This was a refreshing change.
