Sounds like you understand her meaning to me.<br /><br />My husband's family is from Coussey, which is just south from her hometown of Domrémy (now called Domrémy-la-Pucelle, of course). She is highly regarded even to this day!!<br /><br />Her house is really cool, and is in surprisingly good condition for being well over 600 years old. Last time I was there I was disappointed to see her floor had been resurfaced with cement. I guess they had to do it in order to make it possible for visitors to enter, but it's still a shame to see history modernized.♥ E.T.

She's been a heroine since I was old enough to appreciate a girl warrior on a great white stallion. : ) She is still the youngest person ever to lead a nation's armies. As the years went by her story gained ever more meaning. I've been to her birthplace in Lorraine, the Porte de France in Vaucouleur, from which she left to try and speak to the dauphin, her death site in Rouen, and the Cathedral in Reims where the dauphin was finally crowned. I hope someday to visit some of the other highlight locations of her life (like Orleans, Thib!). <br /><br />Thanks for this photo, Eric -- it casts her in as heroic a light as ever one could!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978433496142392475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-8779318213475657592010-05-11T00:10:33.996+02:002010-05-11T00:10:33.996+02:00I could sum this photo up in two words: my hero.
