Clarisse's Letter	John Mercredi 5 Juin, lorsque nous avons visite le cimetiere american notre guide nous a raconte ta vie, la trop courte vie. C'est comme ca que nous avons appris que a minuit tu ete largue tes amis en ayant pour consigne d' empecher les Allemands en renfort d'arriver. Tu etais, certainement un beau garcon doue d'une grande intelligence, force a s'enroler dans l'armie en tant que parachutiste. Cela a du etre un dechirement pour toi de quitter ta famile, mais tu as tenu 2 jours. C'est pour cela que aujourd hui, nous te disons merci, ainsi que avec autres jeunes parachutists, d'avoir donne leurs vies pour sauver la Liberte d' un autre pays que le votre. Merci Clarisse Renaudeau, 8 Ans, CM2	John Wednesday, June 5, when we visited the cemetery American our guide told us of your life, [your] short life. That's how we learned that at midnight you dropped [with] your friends having been instructed to prevent the German reinforcements from arriving. You were certainly a handsome boy gifted with a great intelligence forced enlist in the Army as a paratrooper. That had the be heartbreaking for you to leave your family, but you held 2 days. This is why today, we will say thank you and with other young parachutists, have given their lives to save the Freedom of a country other than your own. Thank you Clarisse Renaudeau, 8 Years, CM2
