On June 6, 2024 for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, TFWNF assembled hundreds of French people around the scaled down replica of the Statue of Liberty in Paris.With the Statue in the forefront and hundreds of French people standing firmly behind her with French and U.S flags, and with the Eiffel Tower in the background, the power of the symbol was overwhelming, and the message was very clear:
The French Will Never Forget.
Overwhelming, clear and delivered!

The participants formed a human chain of letters and spell out the following words as a huge message

In simple ceremonies at military cemeteries, men, women and children placed a simple red rose at each of the 60,511 graves of U.S. soldiers who died fighting on French soil in the two world wars. The tribute began Thursday at the huge D-Day cemetery in Normandy and continued Friday at smaller burial sites in France.
