THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!

The Association « The French Will Never Forget » (TFWNF) was created in 2003 in reaction to the anti French sentiments which prevailed in a large portion of the American population, following the diverging analysis of France on the situation in Iraq and her ensuing refusal to commit troops to operation “Desert Storm”. A standard cliché regularly returning in several American media, and hammered by various pundits and

political figures was that France did not remember what the United States had done for her during the First and the Second World War , and was just ungrateful. Read more about the Association “The French Will Never Forget”

The 2011 Memorial Project : The key idea is to erect, on September 11 2011, a scaled reproduction of both World Trade Center Towers, in front of the Palais de Chaillot esplanade. These will be built by erecting scaffolding which will be covered on each of the four sides by a white tarpaulin. Each of the towers will measure approximately 30 meters in height (or the equivalent of a 10-story building) and will be 4 meters wide. The technical aspects of the project have been validated by the firm OGER INTERNATIONAL, and the LAYHER Company will be tasked with the actual construction of these scaffolding. These two companies are world-renowned in their respective field. Click here for a detailled explaination of the operation.
