According to the author, in modern times there is no longer a sense of honor. While cynicism and skepticism are growing in people's minds every day, it seemed to the author necessary to evoke the high figures of a few men whom the author had the chance to know and to meet. They had saved the honor of France in 1940. Gaullist of the first hour, the author's maternal grandfather was one of them.
