Brigitte Bardot Quotes

On his trip to Germany, Reagan was invited to lay a memorial wreath at the German military cemetery in Bitberg. His staff assistant Michael Deaver had set the trip up but did not know that German Waffen SS Officers were also buried at the cemetery along with the far more numerous Wehrmacht. American Jews and Veterans Groups protested this honor to the SS murderers of millions of people including American prisoners of war. The proposed trip was covered very heavily by the press and editorials throughout the country called for the President to cancel the cemetery part of his trip. He did not. This quotation shows how symbols can take on a meaning that was never intended by the parties.
