George Washington in Paris
A long time ago I was in the US Army, stationed at Augsburg, Germany. One long break (we worked 6 days on, 2 days off, rotating shift - so one of the breaks was longer than the other two), a group of us went to Paris. We were just walking along from one place to another when we were shocked to run into a statue of George Washington. None of us had any idea that such a thing existed in Paris. We were really quite young. I was just thinking about that.
I stole this picture off the web somewhere. I know I took my own pictures of it, but this was long before digital cameras and I have no idea where they might be. Anway. George Washington in Paris.

What the heck was GW doing in Paris?
The same thing Lafayette was doing in America. But only in spirit.
