I received this citation as a birthday gift from Dominique Jansen
who lives at Stiring Wendel, France - near where my B-24 ( Ginger)
crashed ( Schoeneck) and where a monument is erected to the crew
of the "Ginger".
The
rough translation is as fellows:
"
His Holiness (Pope) Jean Paul II grants with all his heart the
Apostolic Blessing to Georges ( George) Lesko on the occasion
of his 80th Anniversary ( Birthday) by invoking ( calling upon)
the abundance of the Devine graces ( favors) and the Protection
of the Holy Virgin Mary ( Marie)."

Signed
by a Vatican Archdiocese ( With Vatican seal affixed).
