Be advised that these are not my words. They were posted on the internet. Being Jewish had nothing to do with it. The American Congress deemed it worthy as to why so many of the 36th division were sacrificed. They investigated it.

ARSENAL;

The American congress deemed it necessary to investgate the deaths of so many men of the Texas 36th division.
Take it up with them

Having now been there I can post some photos of Red Poppies at Monte Cassino.
At the garden center yesterday I saw a Clematis called "Polish Spirit" i bought one and it is now growing in my garden.

I have just seen there is also a Clematis called "Monte Cassino".
Clematis 'Monte Casino'
I think I'll have to get at least one in my garden.

These two photos were taken by the Castle.

This one was taken down by Albaneta Farm, where the Poles were fighting.

And I enjoy letting others know that England and France were the only two nations who declared war on the Third Reich because of Poland. The were the only two to stand up for the Poles.
