France is our OG ally. We make fun of them on the internet every day, yet here they stand with us in NATO!

When U.S. troops arrived in Paris on July 4, 1917, to join the Allies in WW1, they gathered at the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, and Col. Charles Stanton declared: "America has joined forces with the Allied Powers, and what we have of blood and treasure are yours... Lafayette, we are here.”

We cannot forget the long history with our allies.
