Bring out your dead....bring out your dead....
Lawmaker Wants Troops' Remains Back From France
BROOKSVILLE - Forget dumping champagne, boycotting brie or sailing the Statue of Liberty back to Paris.
Frustrated by France's refusal to support a war with Iraq, U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown- Waite proposes bringing the remains of American veterans buried in France back to the United States.
If the country that U.S. troops helped liberate during World War II won't support American military plans, then Brown-Waite proposes bringing the remains of those troops home for the families that request it.
``France has consistently turned its back on the United States,'' said Brown-Waite, R- Brooksville. ``They forget if it weren't for America, they would be speaking German today.''
More than 74,000 U.S. servicemen and women from World War I and World War II are buried in American cemeteries in France and Belgium, according to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
Brown-Waite's proposed legislation makes all of those servicemen and women buried in France and Belgium eligible for ``repatriation'' at their families' requests.
Brown-Waite, elected in November, said she doesn't have cost estimates for returning remains to the United States, but she proposes the government pay for it.
Ginny Brown-Waite makes Congressman Bob Ney, who renamed the french fries at the House Restaurant, look like friggin' Steven Hawking.....
