In Paris on August 26, the Leclerc Division rolled down the Champs Élysées in a grand parade. On August 29, the U. S. Army's 28th and 4th divisions marched the route. General Eisenhower decided to delay the American parade to allow De Gaulle and the French to have their own moment in the limelight.

The Battle of Paris was over the same day it started, August 25. The French 2nd Armored Division, known as the Leclerc Division after its commander Jacques Philippe Leclerc, was travelling with the U. S. Third Army. The Leclerc Division entered Paris first, by design. Charles De Gaulle arrived the same day and established his leadership group in Paris as the legitimate government of France. German prisoners were gathered up and transported to camps outside the city. Women who sympathized with the N**i occupiers were rewarded by having their heads shaved by unsympathetic neighbors.

🌟 Honoring Our Heroes 🌟

Meet Robert Shipe, a World War II veteran with an incredible story of bravery and resilience. Drafted into the U.S. Army in March 1944 right after high school, Robert was assigned to the 97th Infantry Division and trained as a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) man.

Initially preparing for combat in the Pacific, Robert's unit was redirected to Europe following the outbreak of the Battle of the Bulge. He arrived at the front lines just as the Allies halted Hitler's Ardennes offensive and spent 42 consecutive days in combat, often targeted by enemy fire due to his role as a BAR man.

After Germany's surrender, Robert returned home, only to be told he would soon be training for the invasion of Japan. However, the dropping of the atomic bombs led to the war’s end, and Robert went to Japan as a Military Policeman (MP) on occupational duty.

We are honored to share Robert Shipe's incredible journey. Watch his full interview to hear more about his experiences and the bravery that defines our veterans. 🇺🇸
