The wording itself is the most specific thing about this picture, a declaration that America owes France a debt it will never repay. That sentiment reaches back to the 1778 Franco-American alliance, when French ships, troops and money helped turn the Revolution's outcome, and to the Marquis de Lafayette, who became the most visible symbol of that help. On a Memorial Day board, the line connects the holiday's remembrance of the war dead with the long partnership between the two nations, including the American soldiers who fought alongside the French in the First World War.
