Yes, it wasn’t easy to find that old woman in France… Only her name was known… The two old persons were so cute… God bless them! Greetings from Hungary! 🇭🇺👋
One of my favorite stories about my unusual French name “Mignon” (I’m American, so super unusual here) involves a US Army Veteran in around 1986 when I was 20 years old. I attended a veterans event as part of my job and introduced myself to one of the WWII veterans and as he took the hand I had offered, he held it so gently and got a dreamy look on his face and looked right through me into the past..….”I knew a Mignon once….during the War….in France.” It was so sweet and he obviously had such lovely memories of that young lady. He profusely thanked me for bringing those memories back.
@@lindickison3055 There is a flower called "Mignonette" but that is not the meaning. Je parle un peu francais. About as well as my Spanish, but when I try to speak either, it comes out half and half, so never did conquer either. 😂
It is both beautiful and tragic, I'm sure they both married other people and had kids etc, but if life was just, and I know it isn't, they maybe should have married each other and made another life story. Maybe I'm an old romantic or an idiot, but it seems life robbed them of their potential happiness together
Depending where they were, ppl had jam, or mustard, or cheese. For example: during the war, my granny oftenly exchanged her jam sandwiches against mustard ones (I'm the same xD love my bread and mustard)
What country? Cheese varied in UK, at worst, I think it was 1 or 2 oz a week. But by the later part of the war, vegetarians got an extra 3 oz of cheese a week. About time!
I mean it's a really nice story and all but man it's a bit weird that a 20 year old dude fell in love with a 14 year old girl without even being able to speak to her
Some girls get tall and mature fast. When I was 8 years old, I was offered a cash job instructing horse riding. I wasn't even asked my age, because they thought I was easily 15. I had worked there over a year before he found out. Occasionally, it led to a few blushes but I knew no different life.
my only wish - that he had asked his daughter to hold the bread for a moment so he could clasp her hand & give her a nice warm hug, rather than using the bread as a shield. But those were more reserved times he had grown up in
And he brought her a jam sandwich. Some of these storys id pay to see in a theater.
I might be a big man, but this made me tear up. Lovely people.
Simply lovely. Where me red wine.. rŕr me matey
@@briangleason5597 You can be big, tall or short....your heart has no bounderies.

What a sweet guy. His kindness is Godly and she's still a pretty girl! God bless all of these people.
I love all of these veteran stories. Its amazing.
Waooooo
Unbelievable, that they found each other…
Emotional meeting. It required nearly 3 months of intensive research to find Huguette.

Is your nickname filet?
More likely "Little Flower" 🌼

Great reunion
My eyes watered the whole video.. To be able to hear this Hero's story/last wish was truly heart warming .
Love has no labels....he has such a big heart to return and find her.
Beautiful story and reunion.
The medals that gentleman earned. Incredible.
God Bless them all.
i love hearing human stories like this
How lovely, there must be thousands of stories like theirs.
Please turn on CC for older viewers and others who need it. Thank you.
That was how the French treated starving children! How lovely for them to meet! Lovely story and a lovely soldier/human being!
Lest we forget.,......we must remember that some gave all❤
Unbelievable, but it is true. Heart Touching🥺🥰
wonderful story
That was bloody beautiful
A very touching story.
They need to caption his speaking as I couldn’t hear him
she has/had beautiful eyes.
We met again. Cheers.😊☮️
Love does transcend over decades.💞 Thank you for this wonderful story!👏👏
What an amazing end to his search
Such lovely stories great
Merveilleuses retrouvailles ! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁😁😁
❤❤❤❤ that was such a touching story
What a sweet story
I could not hear him speaking very well on video even with turning up volume.
I could not hear one word this dear man spoke. I wish I could hear his story
I shot up the volume, and it was a bit clearer. He is quite soft-spoken.
@@richardpodnar5039try enabling closed captions for this problem as well
I think we don't need hear any word. A picture is worth more than a million words.
No close captioning on this either?
He shared his jam sandwich with her.
How nice.
Got to stop cutting onions
if only to be born unto this generation ...alas
WHEN will ppl filming vids learn NOT to play music while ppl are speaking. GRRRRR.

Lovely story..
😢❤
Wonderful so much
Ahh, I wanted them to get married...
It seems that he was more into that meeting so long ago than she was. She didn't even remember it! What's so romantic about that?
And she said: "Get lost, creep!"

The French Resistance, with the help of the Brits, male and female, were brave!
You didn't like pilchards, I brought mackerel instead.
Hilarious!

Reminds me of Elvis dating presilla
Him: "I finally found you after all of these years!".
Her: "Um...I'm a lesbian".
3:16 Mdr il se fait marcher dessus pour la bonne cause.
❤😎😻👍🥂

man, wish they could have seen each other sooner, get married, have kids and grandkids! what a waste!
Precious BEYOND words.... 💕💕💕💕💕

Trop mignon!
Bien contente pour eux deux !
