在约翰．皮尔辛 (John
J. Pershing) 将军的领导下，美国军队于1918年9月12日展开在第一次世界大战中的首次大规模攻击行动
在这场战争里，盟军成功攻下西线 (Western
Front) ，并且迫使德军向后方撤退。到了10月，德国的失败似乎已经确定了，战争也比预期要早退出。后来，各国领袖在1918年11月11日签署停战协定。
在战争退出之前，皮尔辛就在法国战场上，透过广播录音的方式向美国人民讲话。他呼吁人民要支持「伟大前辈的精神。」伍德罗．威尔逊 (Woodrow Wilson) 总统也呼应这个呼吁，因为皮尔辛早先估计在1919年时，美国必须派遣3百万名士兵到欧洲作战，但威尔逊并不想派遣这么多人上战场。毫无疑问的，皮尔辛带领的军队在1918年赢得胜利后，拯救了许多即将上战场的士兵的生命
In the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the combined Allied offensive against the Western Front successfully forced the German retreat. By October, Germany's defeat was certain, and the war came to an end earlier than expected. Leaders signed the Armistice on November 11, 1918.Before this outcome, Pershing spoke to American citizens at home in a recorded broadcast from the battlefields of France. He called for support in "the spirit of our forefathers." President Woodrow Wilson encouraged this call for support, because Pershing had earlier estimated the need for 3 million American troops on European soil by 1919, a larger force than Wilson intended to send. Undoubtedly, the strength of Pershing's army in 1918 saved the lives of those men who would have come after.
