Thought for Today

"Lafayette, we are here."

Charles E. Stanton

Address at the tomb of Lafayette, 

Picpus Cemetery, Paris, [July 4, 1917]

"The remark has also been attributed to 

General John Joseph Pershing [18601948]; 

in My Experiences in the World War [1931]. 

Pershing denied having said  'anything so splendid.'"
