As most of you know, there is an annual changing of the American Flag at Lafayette's grave every year on or around July 4th at Picpus Cemetery.
This very moving ceremony has taken place annually for over 100 years, however, due to the current Covid restrictions in Paris, the event has been canceled, BUT....
The American Friends of Lafayette will be holding a virtual Picpus Ceremony on:
Sunday, July 4th at 10:00am EDT
We have a wonderful cast of AFL members helping us salute Lafayette...
We will present both the American and French National Anthems and share photos from past ceremonies.
We will also share a rare 1917 film by the French army showing the ceremony with General Pershing and Colonel Stanton !!!!
When: July 4, 2021 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
