Ms. Fernandez and her family are direct descendants and beneficiaries of the sacrifices made by the Allied Forces during the liberation of Europe. "Dear Veteran, Today, I am representing thousands of children speaking to you and to thousands of other veterans, and we want to say thank-you! Like us, you were once young and carefree, but when you were still young men and women, liberty called to you, saying,— I am dying, Come and save me! And so you arose, full of courage and zeal, to answer that call. You underwent training, day after day, for ‘D’ Day, and when that day finally arrived in June 1944, you came by air and sea. And you fought with the heart and soul of a free man, so that we too might be free. You saw your fellow soldiers fall on our beaches and in our fields, and in spite of your grief and injuries, you stayed on, saving others and fighting side-by-side with us. And so, dear veteran, I want to tell you, and those dear to you, who sacrificed their youth for our freedom and are now resting in peace, that we are here because of you and thus are your children, And to you, dear veteran, who offered us your bravery and the most promising years of your life, your sacrifice has not been in vain. We are your living sons and daughters of liberty and are here today to offer to you our most heartfelt 'merci.'" ________________________ Lyrics (including Hebrew and French lyrics:) Many night's we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood, Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long before we knew we could There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail It's hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will You will when you believe In this time of fear When prayer so often proved in vain Hope seemed like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here With heart so full I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail
