Tribute To Victims In France
I feel so sorry for all the victims in France in the most recent attacks by terrorists. This photo was taken in Strasbourg, France on August 16, 1984. My wife and I were in Europe on vacation and were enjoying ourselves without the fear of terrorists. Plane travel was safe and easy; and I think the world was a better place. This group of fellow travelers posed for me and seemed happy to do so.

Hello Owd Fella Tick (OFT),
In the first place I like to say that I'm glad that you're posting again.
Referring to your comment on this post and your narrative above, I like to correct two minor details:
1. It wasn't me watching the soccer game between France and Germany, but our German friend Raj;
2. There were no victims in Brussels, Belgium but only in Paris, France. Probably some of the perpetrators came from Brussels.
It's anyhow an act of terror in which (up till now) 129 not guilty people were killed and 352 people were, most seriously, injured.
Therefore I can repeat what I've said before:
What has happened last night in Paris, France is in my opinion a blatant and barbaric attack by, probably brainwashed, fanatics on our universal civilized society.
My thoughts and prayers are with relatives and friends of those who have been killed or injured in this terrible attack.
R.I.P for those who lost their lives.
Hope that the injured can recover quickly.
Thanks for your very fine image, my friend on which the world was, relatively seen, a better place.
