En 1917 La France combattait a son tour pour defendre savie et la liberte du monde. L'Amerique qui n'avait jamais oublie La Fayette, a traverse les mers pour aider La France et le monde a e'te' sauce'—R. Poincare'

(translation) In 1777 La Fayette crossed the seas with French volunteers to bring fraternal assistance to the American people who were fighting for their national freedom. In 1917 France at war had its turn to defend its life and the freedom of the world. America, which never had forgotten La Fayette, crossed the seas to help France and the world was once again safe. —R. Poincare.
