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 has now been restored: there is still some work to be done,
but the long-awaited restoration can be said to be finished.
This year the weather was chilly and the sky was overcast - just like last year.(Click here for more information about the memorial.)
