Long live Lafayette, and long live Lafayette Day, which 📌 Richmond, VA, celebrated for the 10th year on March 14th. On that day in 1781, 23-year-old Major General Marquis de Lafayette landed at Yorktown, VA, to begin a campaign against the British General Cornwallis that would culminate in the British defeat six months later. After laying a wreath in memory of Lafayette under the dome of the Virginia State House of Representatives, 🇫🇷 Consul Caroline Monvoisin visited the Virginia State Capitol as well as Monumental Church, where Lafayette stopped off during his triumphal Adieu Tour in 1824. Many thanks to all attendees for a day rich in History! Virginia American Revolution 250 Commemoration - VA250 The American Friends of Lafayette The Lafayette Trail City of Richmond, VA Government

Ne manquez pas les célébrations à 📌 Yorktown, VA où nous honorons cette amitié éternelle ! 🗽 #FirstAllies #YorktownDay 🇺🇸 On October 19, join us in commemorating 242 years of a triumphant alliance. The Battle of Yorktown forged unbreakable ties between France and the United States. Don’t miss our celebration in Don’t miss our celebration in 📌 Yorktown, VA as we honor this enduring friendship! 📺 Follow along on our reel: At the very heart of the Capitol, an emblematic painting embodies the scope of the historic alliance between France and the United States. It depicts the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis after ther Battle of Yorktown where French and American troops prevailed over those of the British Empire after a naval battle and a siege. On October 19, 1781, General Benjamin Lincoln, second-in-command of the American Continental Army, accepted the surrender from Brigadier General Charles O’Hara, second-in-command of the British Army. He replaces British Commander-in-Chief Lord Cornwallis in the field. Behind him are the American Commander-in-Chief George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, under the Star Spangled Banner. Facing the American continental army, the French officers commanded by General de Rochambeau were placed under the white banner of the Bourbon royal family. This victory paved the way for the Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, and the end of the American Revolutionary War. Since that first alliance, our two countries have maintained a unique relationship, based on shared values. Yorktown Day, commemorated each year by the town of Yorktown, VA, celebrates the origins of these bonds and their impact on the international scene right up to our days.
