I forget which American showed up at a rally in Paris and said “Lafayette we are here,”

You’re thinking of the first time this was said, and it was said by an actual soldier — Black Jack Pershing — not by an overintellectualized academic who became President and thought he could remake the world in the image of his academic theories — something that seems to happen every hundred years or so.
Colonel Charles Stanton
Been a while since Americans showed the spirit of the Modern French. America has forgotten Lafayette and all that France has done for us—now even the President forgets them. Remember when Americans flew old bi-planes for the French in WW I—before we were at war? Many paid with their lives. Would that happen today? I think not. Sad turn of events!
