My fellow Americans, are you enjoying your Independence Day?

We owe France an eternal debt. The French supplied the US Revolution, with more than 90% of its supplies. The Dutch and the Spanish contributed later. France was left with major debt as a result of the help they gave the US revolutionaries, in both materials and direct military intervention.

Yes, we did interfere on free Europeans' behalf, in WWI and WWII. In WWII though, we were protecting ourselves as well.

Say thank you to the French, it's well deserved.
