After I was older and had a chance to really find out about her.
 
I was amazed she was never given Super Star Status.

Mostly because if it were not for her. 
Well I believe the French would have become a country run by English men.  Plop There goes the great migration into French Canada.

I would not be here.  Along with the countless other French descendants of the great French migration [well the French men sent anyway].

What it took for her was more then bravery along with the confidence she held.  
As well held onto her belief that she had angels guiding her.  

What Great faith.

Then after she set the King back on his throne, what becomes of our Heroin?  She is arrested as a Witch.

The French do nothing to free her.  
No instead their Backs are turned against her.  
She is burned at the Stake.
                   Aggghhhhhh!!!

To remember Joan D’Arc is to remember that women as capable to do what is necessary.  

I am so pleased to be a many-times Great Grand Niece too her.  

                         You might be to!
