1929. Both young and old will find that their innate love of and need for a hero will be satisfied with their knowledge and familiarity with the Marquis de Lafayette. They will draw as much inspiration from him as did his contemporaries and followers both in France and America during his long lifetime, always recalling him as one of the greatest exponents and champions of liberty. They will be ready to understand and appreciate why his reputation has endured for over a century and why it will continue to live on wherever great leaders find their well-earned place in the march of history.
