Episode 7: Cajun-Acadiana WWII Commemoration
Manage episode 333029418 series 3365168
In this special episode, we revisit the recently-held "Cajun-Acadian WWII Commemoration" that took place at the National World War II Museum in April 2022. This historic event—20 years in the making—was a collaboration between myself, the Consulate General of Canada, and the WWII Museum in New Orleans. We honored 4 French-speaking WWII veterans; 3 from south Louisiana and 1 from Beaubassin in New Brunswick, Canada. We were joined in the Freedom Pavilion by several dignitaries and guest speakers. It was the first time that the “Frenchies” were recognized on such a grand stage. A link to the hour-long video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynrhj8iCU48&t=0s
