The theme of today’s route was in recognition of the Franco-American relationship with routes covering Lafayette, Hamilton, and three ministers to France, (Franklin, Jefferson, and Monroe).  Our own revolution was largely successful due to French aid.  Lafayette and Hamilton overtaking redoubts 9 and 10 respectively at Yorktown while the French fleet prevented British reinforcement leading to Cornwallis’ surrender.

The cry of the French Revolution – Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity – are evident every day I post with F3.  I am proud to belong to F3RVA!

Announcements:

  • Up Chuck has a golf tournament in August
  • Toga is hosting auditions to replace his F3RVA presence based on wit, sarcasm, and form police.
