WWI Woven Silk Patriotic Postcard , Nous Voici Rare HTF La Fayette, Nous Voici = \"Lafayette, we are here\" These words were spoken during World War I at the tomb of the Marquis de Lafayette during a speech honoring his heroic service in the cause of the American Revolution. On 4 July 1917 Paris celebrated American Independence Day. A U.S. battalion marched to the Picpus Cemetery, where several speeches were made at Lafayette\'s tomb.
