House Joint Resolution 797, Designating March 14, in 2015 and in Each Succeeding Year, as a Day of Honor for the Marquis de Lafayette in Virginia<\/p>\n

On March 14, 1781, 23-year-old Major General Marquis de Lafayette landed at Yorktown, Virginia, to begin a campaign against the British General Cornwallis that would culminate in the British defeat six months later.\u00a0 Additional information on Lafayette and the Virginia Campaign is available at http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yonb\/learn\/historyculture\/lafayette-and-the-virginia-campaign-1781.htm<\/a> .<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2015, Lafayette\u2019s transatlantic journey was re-enacted by an exact historic reproduction of L\u2019Hermione, the French frigate, which brought Lafayette back to the colonies with the pledge of French support.\u00a0 Lafayette advanced the American cause in France, obtaining pledges of support from King Louis XVI of the French Fleet and 6,000 regular infantry troops.\u00a0 The involvement of France changed the course of the war.<\/p>\n

A wreath is laid each year at the bust of Lafayette in the Rotunda of the Capitol.\u00a0 This year\u2019s wreath will be laid by the French Consul to the United States.\u00a0 The ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. on March 14, 2016.\u00a0 The public is invited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
