"Lafayette, we are here"

Charles Stanton, Aide to John J. Persing

America was allied to the French in defeating the British in the Revolutionary War. It was only a notion that General John J. Pershing's aide suggested at the grave of the Marquis de La Fayette (George Washington's French Major-General and friend).

On July 4, 1917, as our "Doughboys" reached France, Stanton made a speech honoring the Revolutionary War hero near his tomb. 

France helped us.
It was now our turn.
Alliances was one of several reasons we went "Over There" to fight Germany and the Central Powers.
