Happy Fourth of July! Independence Day on a Monday, and time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. I love this shot–a truly iconic photo of Father Le Courtois, parish priest at St. Jores, France, looking at the battle damage to the church and adjacent graveyard. The picture was taken on July 7, 1944.
