Penny and Josephine, who are sisters, are almost 100 years, but still love to drink, go out, and have a good time, and cause trouble. They both served in WWII, and only a handful of veterans left. They have received many awards over the years, and now France is honoring them, and it means a return to the city that meant something to both of them.
