Country: | At a French airport:
A group of American retired teachers recently went to France on a tour and an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
The gentleman admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible!" barked the officer. "Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France."
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

Country: | Thanks, I can't take credit for it though. I got it off of one of those royalty free graphics sites. I just shrank it for memorial day. I will be doing a new one soon to commemorate D-Day.
