I concur with this thought. It is also the 100th year anniversary of the ending of WWI. It was nice that they included that in the celebration, and honored the US efforts in that war.

We also owe the French a debt because the French fleet blockading the entrance to the Chesapeake kept reinforcements and supplies from Cornwallis' troops at Yorktown. This greatly hastened the end of the Revolutionary War.
