larger celebration, throughout the Normandy province of France, of the 25th anniversary of D-day. In St. Lo this commemoration involved a large parade and a massive turnout of foreigners and local citizens.
Although St. Lo was virtually ruined by the battle, it is today a thriving city. St. Lo’s citizens have worked diligently to rebuild her. The city has received American assistance through the Marshall plan. It is today the site of a new French-American hospital.
The people of St. Lo are said to be very proud of their city, and all for which it stands. To many the battle of St. Lo represents a major step in the liberation of the French people from Nazi rule and the re-establishment of democracy as a way of life in Western Europe. To Maj. Thomas D. Howie and his battalion the city of St. Lo, France remains indebted.
