The Lafayette Escadrille
"They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions."
Samuel II, 1, 23
"Ils étaient plus rapides que les aigles, ils étaient plus forts que les lions."
Samuel II, 1, 23

Every year, at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month,
our small Franco-American family makes a private pilgrimage
to the Lafayette Escadrille Memorial just outside Paris, France.
What could be more natural for us than to offer our flowers,
however modest they be,
in a spirit of Franco-American friendship and alliance,
especially in this time of trouble ?
These Americans - along with many others - shall forever remain in France.
