struggle and triumph Of liberty of
sacrifice and glorious achievement. !
High among the heroes Of Americas
war for independence is inscribed the
name of Lafayette: and no name will
find a higher place in the annals of
the great war for democracy than
that Of Jodre. the victor Of the
Marine. Both fought that men might
be free from autocracy. Both saw the
cause Of humanity triumphant To
these two great sons of France the
new world and the old world owe a
debt of gratitude which can never be
forgotten while patriotism burns in
the hearts of men.
