"We fight. We get knocked down. We get up and fight again." - N. Greene (from statue behind Philadelphia Museum of Art)

He was also a good friend of Alexander Hamilton, I believe.

Indeed--he and Hamilton first met when he came to NYC with The General to defend it. Unfortunately, he was sick and missed the Battle of Brooklyn (Long Island). But, to this day, there is a Fort Greene Park and Fort Greene neighborhood in Brooklyn.
