Related: About this forumThe French National Anthem is my favorite song for today......
?si=PXfXlkb2w1aR0gTmThis song is sung in the film Casablanca and it is very inspiring. The English lyrics included in this performance are pretty violent but it is a call for unity for a nation against foreign invaders.
I always listen to this version on D-Day and VE Day.

I think it's important for nations to observe the alliances that made them powerful enough to defeat fascist dictators. Ceremonies should include anthems of the nations and other music appropriate to the time and honors for the dead. We need our leaders to bring us together for these remembrances. Too bad the US doesn't have a leader for this.
