Subject: Thank you for the vid. Yes, here in France the male cat is called " Matou ". It's affection.
In reply to: Matou/Carol 's message, "Hey, Laurence- I've watched this about 6 times now, and I tear up each time- especially when the young pilot is shaking the hand of the older veteran in the wheelchair who lost both his left arm & leg. I saw that "Toujours Au Danger" too- I guess it was part of the motto for that group of pilots. Maybe some of them were Canadians. My mom's first language was french, but she spoke a french-canadian dialect. That's where I got "Matou" from- I heard her call our male cat that one day, and it stuck. Since it basically means "TomCat", I chose it as my HarmyBoard moniker." on 21:47:59 01/16/13 Wed
