For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: French chopping down D-Day memories:
The beech trees of Saint Pierre de Varengeville-Duclair forest bore a poignant testimony to the D-Day landings for more than six decades. Thousands of American soldiers stationed there after the liberation of Normandy spent their spare hours with a knife or bayonet creating a lasting reminder of their presence...Amid bureaucratic indifference and a dispute between officials and the forest owner, most of the trees have been felled, chopped up and turned into paper.
Is this just another example of French indifference to the nation and people who liberated them 64 years ago? Or, does the man that owns this land have every right to do what he wants with it?
