Henri Mignon, an 88-year-old guide from Houffalize, Belgium, has dedicated over 30 years to sharing the story of World War II's impact on his town, where he remembers U.S. troops liberating it as a child. However, as he prepared for a tour commemorating the Battle of the Bulge, he expressed discomfort with current U.S.-Russia relations under President Trump's seemingly amicable stance towards Putin. This marks a significant shift in Mignon's perspective on American valor, hinting at his unease about changing international dynamics.
For nearly eight decades, Henri Mignon has seen Americans as heroes, having been liberated twice by them during WWII, shaping his lifelong admiration.
As Mr. Mignon prepared for his tour, he reflected uneasily on America's changing global relationships, particularly the recent interactions between Presidents Zelensky and Trump.
