The invasion of Normandy in June 1944 which include, Americans, British, Canadians, Polish, Australians, Dutch, Irish, Norwegian, and countless others, and, even French themselves.
My wife, who happens to be french, has relatives who fought side by side with americans in France and the families still meet every year to remember what happened.
The majority of French who were alive back then are now dead. But there are still a large number of them alive and I know some of them quite well in fact, and they are to this day, grateful for people of all nations who fought and died to liberate their country, and the rest of Europe from the Nazis. Some of them were held by the germans and were freed by British or American forces and you can bet your *** they are grateful their lives were saved.
There are countless memorials in France and the rest of Europe honouring the sacrifices made by all who died. These memorials are well kept and in pristine condition to this day.
You insult what men and women done in that terrible time with comments and questions like that. How dare you speak through your *** in that way.
The young people in France today are completelty different to the ones back then, because society and the world is a completely different place now, just like people everywhere in the world. Go and speak with some veterans of WW2 and you might have some kind of understanding of it and then you will hopefully come up with a more constructive question.
It would also do you good to stop watching networks like FOX for a while, open your eyes to the real world.
There you go.

Of course we are ! It's not because we disagreed with Iraq and that most of us dislike your President (to say the least...), that we forgot the liberation of France by americans.
Every time old Americans soldiers that fought against nazis come back in Normandy or somewhere else in the occasion of a celebration, they have sympathy reactions expressed by the population, young or old.
But it's true we sometimes do American bashing (as you still go on doing French bashing), but it's more because of recent politics events, because of the important you give to religion, because of some things in your social model that are really deeply different or because of the American food :)

No, not really!
They should give US the Eiffel Tower as a sign of thankfulness!
And the Louvre!!
While we're at it, are Americans thankful enough for having being liberated from the British with the help of the French???
