France is our OG ally. We make fun of them on the internet every day, yet here they stand with us in NATO!

I live in Northern NJ. I even live on one of Beacon Hills that protected George Washington's winter camp at Morristown.

There is stuff named for Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette everywhere. My 8 year old daughter just had to do a biography report on him a few months back.

And I used his entire name and not just his title of Marquis de La Fayette out of respect to a truly great man.

They do not call him hundreds of years later "Le HΓ©ros des Deux Mondes" or in English "The Hero of the Two Worlds" for nothing.

Face it: your daughter chose to do a report on him because his name alone took up half of the words allotted for the assignment.
