So Honored to Represent Caroline Ferriday at the French Consulate as Nine new Legion of Honor recipients Awarded, WWII veterans all.

At the French Consulate tomorrow I will introduce nine new region of Honor recipients, with a few words about Caroline Ferriday, who was given the award after WWII for her work to benefit France. I’m excited to meet the veterans-eight men and one woman- and it’s an incredible honor to represent Caroline, a woman who was completely devoted to France and who I think would be thrilled to be remembered there.

Though she worked at the French Consulate when it was located at Rockefeller Center in the French Building, above, working tirelessly for French orphans and supporting Free France, I think she’d be thrilled to be honored at the lovely current home of the Consulate, 934 Fifth Avenue. Congratulations to all nine of the new Legion of Honor recipients– can’t wait to meet them all.
