We offer to show our solidarity with France, the country's national anthem.
Frankly, we find the militarism in the lyrics shocking but it was specifically written as a call to war with Austria. (WIKI: La Marseillaise)
Please keep that knowledge in mind in mind while listening. Remember also, a great deal of the foundation of the American government came from Robespierre through Thomas Jefferson's further interpretation. Keep in mind also France came to the aid of early America in the Revolutionary War for independence from Britain.
Vive la France et vive à la république
