13 June 1777 - A TEENAGE FRENCHMAN ARRIVES IN AMERICA TO HELP THE
PATRIOTS: Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, disembarks in America
after a two-month sea voyage from France. The wealthy 19-year-old will
befriend future presidents Washington and Jefferson, and help train and
lead revolutionary regiments against the British in America's War of
Independence.

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de
La Fayette (6 September 1757 - 20 May 1834), known in the United States
as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat, freemason, and military officer
who fought in the American Revolutionary War, commanding American troops
in several battles, including the siege of Yorktown. After returning to
France, he was a key figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the
July Revolution of 1830. He has been considered a national hero in both
countries.
