Pretty straightforward question! I know a lot of people went to Paris for the Olympics this year, and I wondered what you thought about it

It was really nice. We went prior to the Olympics, but Paris and other parts of France are beautiful and lovely each in their own way. It feels very much like home, yet foreign at the same time.

I will never forget how immaculately well kept the American graves were at the beaches of Normandy. They treat them with such respect, and it brought tears to my eyes. The people of France will always have a spot in my heart for what they've done for us in our time of need and for the utmost respect they have shown our ancestors in both world wars.
