The men and women of my generation heard their grandparents talk about how, in 1917, America saved France at a time when my country had reached the final limits of its strength, at a time when France was exhausted in the most absurd and bloodiest of wars. France was able to count on the courage of the American soldiers. I have come to tell you, in the name of the French people, that we shall never forget this.
My great grandfather fought in the trenches in France. It's nice to hear him acknowledge this gratitude.

Good speech. I've been in favor of improved Franco American relations for a long time. France and America have a long history mutual friendship.

If it wasn't for the French, we would have never beaten the British.

If it wasn't for the Americans, France would not have been liberated, atleast for a while.
