To the
LAFAYETTE FLYING SQUADRON
(formerly the Escadrille Américaine)

—those gallant young Americans who led
the way their country was later to follow

“Under the little crosses where they rise
The soldier rests; now round him undismayed
The cannon thunder, and at night he lies
At peace beneath the eternal fusillade
That other generations might possess
From shame and menace free in years to come,
A richer heritage of happiness;
He marched to that heroic martyrdom.”
