These people gave literally everything they had, for only the concept of freedom. They were freakin' nuts for God's sake. Who the hell walks around in December in DC with no shoes?

God bless their souls. If today's "leaders" had 1/10th of the courage that these men had our country would be damn near a utopia.

A young American officer wrote to his wife: "I shall never forget what I felt in Princeton on [Washington's] account, when I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him. Believe me, I thought not of myself."

George Washington was a great and brave man. He was a man of faith and conviction whose courage and bravery rallied loyal troops. He was responsible for our victory in the Revolutionary War more than any other single individual. George Washington as the first President of the United States gave stability and character to an infant nation seeking its place in history with other nations.
