“Lafayette, we are here”

 When Colonel Charles Stanton uttered these words in Paris on July 4, 1917, he was paying homage to the Marquise de Lafayette. Lafayette had helped win independence for the 13 colonies that would become America. Twenty seven years later, on June 6, 1944, D day,  American soldiers once again repaid that debt on the beaches of Normandy. We must never forget their sacrifices. And yet a convicted felon who is running for President of the United States has called those who died there “losers.” Sir,  have you no shame?
