i am speaking of marquis de lafayette.plause] when he sailed on the hermione in 1780, the marquis was no stranger to american shores. he fought as a member of the continental army in the early years of our struggle. on his return in april, the marquis brought with him not only the promise from the king of france of additional support in the form of 6000 troops and seven ships, but also an enduring friendship that has lasted centuries. the marquis resumed his place alongside general washington and the continental army and was among troops, setting siege on the battle headquarters of yorktown in 1781. as you walk through yorktown you are walking in the footsteps of our nation's first president. and the many frenchmen to whom we owe our thanks. for example, the marquis de lafayette, the comte de grasse the comte de rochambeau. and so many others. not only were these french heroes fighting in yorktown, but the hermione participated in the naval blockade and assault on british forces from the york river. today we celebrate the
