At another American port, the cruiser Montcalm puts in for repairs and supplies. Built in 1936 she'll soon be back in action. Vice-Admiral Raymond A. Fenard, heading the French Naval Commission for the United States, salutes his flag as he comes to place every available warship flying the tricolor flag of France on the side of the United Nations.
In New York City, French sailors are introduced to free American refreshments, quite a treat. Now, parading up Broadway, men of the French Navy return New York's hospitality with a gala review. French Bluejackets and Marines, escorted by units of British and Americans, giving the big city the war's first view of America's traditional allies now marching shoulder to shoulder in the common cause. Along the line of march shouts of "vive la France!" tell these Frenchmen that the United Nations are with them in their fight for liberty.
In front of New York's historic city hall, Mayor La Guardia with high ranking French and United States dignitaries officially welcomes the French Navy men to America. Fighting men of an awakened France sworn to free their native land. One of the dramatic scenes of the war, the rebirth of French naval might. The beginning of France's return to her traditional position among the great nations of the world.

You have today before you an immeasurably greater opportunity to implement these same ideals and to help bring about the liberation of man's spirit in every part of the world.
