Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau (1725-1807)
The Comte de Rochambeau was a French nobleman and general appointed by King Louis XVI to lend vital assistance to General George Washington during the American War of Independence.
His remarkable tactical and leadership skills were instrumental in achieving victory for the American Patriots at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia (October 19, 1781).
The courage of the French soldiers and sailors who fought alongside the American Patriots during the War of American Independence led to the birth of a new nation – the United States of America.

Merci pour le partage !If you ever visit Paris 🇫🇷, be sure to make a stop by Les Invalides to see the final resting place of the Emperor of the French.
Originally built in the 17th century by Louis XIV for veterans of the royal army, Napoleon transformed the building into a "pantheon of military glories." Although he was originally buried on Saint Helena, King Louis-Philippe fittingly decided to transfer Napoleon's remains to Les Invalides. After a large renovation by the architect Visconti, the Emperor was laid to rest in 1861.
Additionally, in the cour d'honneur, visitors can look for a sculpture of Napoleon by Charles Emile Seurre. The ominous figure is carved in bronze “sourced from cannons seized from the enemy during the 1805 campaign, notably at the Battle of Austerlitz.”
Interested in learning more about Napoleon's life and legacy? Be sure to watch Ridley Scott's Napoleon, in theaters Thanksgiving week.

Is there a Thanksgiving event this year? I’m in Paris again and would love to see our DAR friends.
Sorry I missed this but I didn't even know it was happening. For some reason I am not getting any notification of events from the Rochambeau Chapter.
