How to Pronounce ''Galeries Lafayette'' Correctly in French

The Marquis de Lafayette, Gilbert du Motier fought for the US independence and over 100 years later in 1917, Colonel Stanton of the AEF said at his grave, “Lafayette, we are here.” The US entering and the offensives that followed helped secure victory. A truly beautiful history of paying what’s owed to those before us. | Ryan Kelly Comedy

Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de Lafayette is one of my favorite historical figures. The “Hero of two worlds” is hard to earn but that he did, not by being perfect but still ahead of his time. Thanks to the @franceintheus for letting me witness the re-enactment of part of his farewell tour! | Ryan Kelly Comedy
