Summary
[edit]DescriptionGeneral Dudney honors liberators of France (5837501928).jpg |
At the High Museum of Art on May 27, Ambassador François Delattre inducted nine WWII veterans who participated in the liberation of France into the Order of the Legion of Honor, which was founded by Napoleon Bonaparte and recognizes distinguished service to the French Republic. Brigadier Gen. Larry Dudney, Director of the Joint Staff and Joint Task Force Georgia Commander for the Georgia National Guard, delivered remarks. "Back in the 19th Century, one of your countrymen, Alexis de Tocqueville, toured our young nation and collected some of the greatest observations about Democracy - and America - in his book Democracy in America," started Dudney. "While here, he attended a large public gathering where people were being urged to mobilize to help the Poles in their struggle for freedom. The gathering was opened with this prayer: 'God of hosts! Thou who did maintain the hearts and guide the arms of our fathers when they sustained the sacred rights of their national independence; thou who made them triumph over an odious oppression and granted our people the benefits of peace and freedom... 'O Lord! Turn a favorable eye toward the other hemisphere; regard with pity an heroic people who today struggles as we did formerly for the defense of the same rights! 'Lord, who have created all men on the same model, do not permit despotism to come to deform thy work and to maintain inequality on earth.' "I bring that up today," Dudney noted, "because it is a powerful reminder of the yearning for Freedom, and the desire for Liberty for all peoples that have ignited both our countries, and burned in our hearts for centuries and to this very day. "France and the United States remain dedicated Liberty; and this shared goal binds and will continue to bind us as we aim to help all peoples gain the Freedom our nations enjoy." Pictured here, Brig. Gen. Dudney shakes hands with one of the nights honorees. (Photo courtesy of Laurent Cavalie - Mindworks Creation) |
