No--we are not both right, you continue to be wrong and I continue to be right. Perhaps you're just playing a game and think it's cute, but Madison never fought in the Revolution and never was an aide-de-camp to General Washington. Hamilton was an aide-de-camp to Washington and was also at Trenton.

Many of us here take the RevWar seriously, and for you to put up falsehoods about it is neither clever nor funny. In case you have a history of similar behavior I am notifying the admin moderator.

Pharmboy, you are correct. James Madison didn't serve in the Continental Army, he was a member of the Continental Congress. Alexander Hamilton did serve as an aide de camp to Washington after March 1777 but at Trenton he was an artillery officer.

James Monroe was the future President who was wounded at Trenton. He was then serving as a Lt. in the 3rd Virginia Infantry Regiment. After recovering from his wound, he was promoted and became aide de camp to General William Alexander "Lord" Stirling.

Boy..Another history book reference

"Tradition: • Washington’s army crossing the Delaware in the freezing conditions has become an important national image for the United States as can be seen in Emmanuel Leutze’s picture. • Present at the battle were: two other future presidents James Madison and James Monroe, the future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.
