Charles E. Stanton was a U.S. soldier during World War I. On July 4, 1917 he visited the tomb of French Revolution and American Revolution hero Marquis de La Fayette and said, "La Fayette, we are here!" to honor La Fayette's assistance during the Revolutionary War. The famous quote is often misattributed to General John Pershing[1].
