La Fayette was praised as a self-forgetful servant of justice and humanity and beloved by Americans for holding no duty more sacred than fighting for the freedom of his fellow men. In 1777 he crossed the seas with French volunteers to bring fraternal assistance to the American people as they fought for national freedom. In 1917, when France was at war defending its life and the freedom of the world, America, which had never forgotten La Fayette, crossed the seas to help France, and the world was once again safe.
