Historian John Monsky details the history of the first American troops to land in Paris during WWI. They arrive on July 3rd, and on July 4th thousands of Parisians gather to cheer them on as they march to the tomb of Lafayette. On stage with him are two of the flags carried by the U.S. Army in Paris on that day, as well as Broadway performers singing George M. Cohan's "Over There."
