Swooping warplanes, axe-carrying warriors, a drone light show over the Eiffel Tower and fireworks in nearly every French town… France is celebrating its national holiday Monday with 7,000 people marching, on horseback or riding armored vehicles along the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees, the most iconic avenue in Paris.

Joyeux 14 juillet 
May this day fill all of you with Fraternity, Equality, and Liberty. May the joy of France and what the French Revolution means to the world and democracy.
