Oh wait!!! That pic can’t be the right depiction.
It’s homophobic; There are no rainbow flags....where are the “gay” brigades?
It’s also sexist; And the women? There are no women solders!!!!!
Oh and it’s just showing a lot of “white privilege...so its also racist....it’s all white guys!!!!!! /S
I remember reading somewhere that Trenton was sort of a last gasp by Washington.
There was talk of him being replaced, congress disbanding and surrender to the British.
Instead the victory at Trenton gave new life to the revolution.
What would Washington do with 900 Hessian prisoners?
The Battle of Trenton is commemerated by a momument, similar to the Washington Monument in D.C. I believe it even had an elevator at one time. I lived in that area for a large portion of my life, but never ventured into Trenton. More recently, I have conceived the idea that I ought to visit it, but it’s in a “bad area”. Well, I assume I could do a drive-by with minimal risk.
We remember.
A good morning wake up ping. May your day be a bit more pleassant than if you were a Hessian soldier 241 years ago :)

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to ourDr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”
It’s the day that saved our Revolution. Our Creator had a hand in it.
This battle was followed on the 3rd of January by the Battle of Princeton
Frederick the Great was so impressed with Washington’s winter campaign he sent Washington a sword. I bet Washington got geeked out by a gift from the greatest military mind of his generation.
