AMERICAN HISTORY: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2153870455564372 [2:10] to hear a World War II veteran talk about his experiences in Belgium.
Bob Cook commented on the video – “Two stories about how our soldiers are respected. On a tour to Normandy we had a local French tour guide. At the American Cemetery she asked for minute of silence in respect of “the young men who gave their lives to free a country not their own”. My youngest daughter was working in Geneva and living in France. She was having her hair done in a French village when the hairdresser realized she was an American. She had my daughter wait so she could go get her grandfather. He came bc he wanted to thank her for the Americans who liberated his village in WWII. We may forget, but they remember.”

Nitric oxide, which is produced in the sinus cavities, improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure, thus aiding in relaxation. Nitric oxide also reduces inflammation, enhances immune response, and supports brain health.
