What unites us is an unconditional love for France.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We, the French, are viscerally attached to our laicite, our sovereignty, our independence, our values. The world knows that when France is attacked, it is liberty that is dealt a blow.
The transatlantic relationship is vital for both our countries: France will remain a reliable ally of the United States. Nevertheless, ally does not mean aligned.
I'm ready to become a French person amongst French people, and more than ever I have the love for my country deeply ingrained in my heart.
France will always be France no matter what, but America involves striving toward an ideal.
We are a big country, with lots of advantages and history. We are proud to be French. We have to call on patriotism at this time... to ask for an effort in the battle against debt.
France is the bridge between northern Europe and southern Europe. I refuse any division. If Europe has been reunified, it's not for it to then fall into egotism or 'each for one's own'. Our duty is to set common rules around the principles of responsibility and solidarity.
My heart has always been truly convinced that in serving the cause of America, I am fighting for the interests of France.
France is my home; you are my family. I am carrying all of you in my heart.
There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.
The United States, for a French citizen, is a friend, an ally, to whom we owe, along with most Europeans, our freedom.
