Sometimes its as if the rules are suspended because you have been spared when so many others are not. "What goes on down range, stays down range." I'm sure Susan Travers was quite aware of the parameters of the affair with Koenig.<br /><br />Susan Travers' proudest moment was in 1956, when the Legion invited her to Paris to receive the Medaille Militaire for her role at Bir Hakeim:<br /><br />On a bitterly cold day at Les Invalides, Susan took her place in the middle of the square along with dozens of other Legionnaires, with her husband and two young sons watching and a crowd of hundreds looking on. <br /><br />Standing at attention, she felt her heart lurch as she saw a lone general in full military uniform walking towards her. It was Pierre Koenig, the lover she hadn't seen since the days immediately after Bir Hakeim. <br /><br />Her hands clenched into fists, she watched as he pinned her medal to the lapel of her coat. Their eyes locked, each one struggling with their emotions, he told her: "I hope this will remind you of many things. Well done, La Miss." <br /><br />Stepping back, he gave her a brisk salute before marching away. It was the last time she ever saw him. Koenig died in 1970 and Travers waited almost 30 years until her own husband died, to tell their story of love and heroism. <br /><br />"Wherever you will go, I will go too," she had once told Koenig at Bir Hakeim. It was a promise she kept.STORMBRINGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405613458419510116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-67863610343928828292010-03-06T19:21:10.691+00:002010-03-06T19:21:10.691+00:00Yes the story of "La Miss" is an excepti...Yes the story of "La Miss" is an exceptional look at a woman and her life. Her love for the General almost cost her her life and all she got was a farewell and kicked to the curb when he went back to his wife.<br /><br />Is her life determined by that? Not hardly but it is something to remember and a lesson for others.<br /><br />Papa RayPapa Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454201360366303944noreply@blogger.com
