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

No matter what the weather,
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.
We offer our bouquet of flowers in a spirit of Franco-American friendship and alliance.
These Americans - along with many others - shall forever remain in France.
The Lafayette Memorial is still undergoing its long-awaited restoration.
Access was difficult this year, as it was last year.
The weather was chilly and the sky was overcast.(Click here for more information about the memorial.)
