In honor of Remembrance Day, this is a video of 91-year old World War II vet Frank Mouqué using a virtual reality headset to revisit Armentières, a small town in northern France he helped liberate in 1944. The current mayor even gives him a metal for his service and a group of schoolchildren sing him ‘The Mademoiselle From Armentières’. It was all very, very touching and a solemn reminder that World War III is gonna suck.
Hit the jump for the video, it really is worth a watch.
