Remove this frivolous deletion request

While this cemetery where American war dead of WWII are interred may be on French soil, it should be afforded the same level of courtesy as a consulate since it is managed by the United States Government. The property, grounds, structures, grave markers, etc is American property that is protected by American law. Furthermore, understand that this post in wiki is designed to keep alive the memory of those who fought alongside our French allies. Removal of the photos over a petty and barely sufficient framework is not in keeping with the spirit with which SSG Rivers and others lived and died for. Removal of these photos are, in many cases, the only connection that descedants have with their ancestors that paid the ultimate price for freedom. It would be a travesty to remove this part of history, thus robbing the current generation of the knowledge of the sacrifices that their forebearers had to endure. Therefore, I request that you withdraw this frivolous request for deletion. Jumpmaster1906 (talk) 00:07, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
