Lou, Thank you so much for this well researched and informative article. I loved the poetry of the name of Gene’s plane, Tout Le Sang Qui Est Rouge. All Blood Runs Red. Brilliant.
Apropos of your article, this morning I was listening to a report on the Confederate flag in SC and should or shouldn’t it be removed and one of the responses by a “nice” South Carolinian white woman advised us to “get over it and move on…” My thought was, you lost the bloody civil war 150 years ago, perhaps it’s time for YOU to “get over it and move on!”
Tout Le Sang Qui Est Rouge. Word.
