I don't think America owes France anything.
The USA lost around ~200,000 troops invading and defending France before liberating them.
France's arrogance towards the USA about military trade is abhorrent.
Well, there is one especially important thing...

Are you saying that the US would not have been formed without France? Interesting.
Precisely. Without the help of France, the Dutch, Spain and the Prussian general Von Steuben, the Revolution would've failed.
