Описание: On May 14, 1917 French war hero Marshal Joseph Joffre and other dignitaries broke ground in Mount Vernon Place for a statue of the Marquis de Lafayette. This act of support for the French took place just weeks after the United States entered World War I, and recognized the long tradition of national unity and friendship between the two countries.
