You will have to go down on the page a bit to April 28, but check out this story about the French government handing out 300 rooms in some very posh hotels in Paris for WWII vets.

"In a joint effort between the Minister Delegate for Tourism and for Veterans, this appreciation campaign and offer holds for Legion of Honor winners from the 14 Allied nations, but France expects most of its decorated visitors to hail from the US, Great Britain and Canada." - MSNBC
