Par Jack Coudert (†) — Reims, le 8 juin 2015.

2293 Français sont tombés en Indochine, 8000 Vietnamiens tués, 11.000 Français faits prisonniers, envoyés dans des camps de « réhabilitation » : 8431 sont morts en captivité. 3290 en reviendront squelettiques et atteints de toutes les maladies tropicales. Dans un climat d'indifférence, voire d'hostilité : une honte pour notre mémoire collective. Diên Biên Phù vaut bien un requiem !
