Too bad the State that started the march to our freedom. Is one leading us on the march to socialism.

No kidding. I grew up in that area and the only gatherings you'll see there now are to support "free" health care and more government.

Truly sad.

What makes that even more astounding is at that point, the British Americans were outnumbered by almost 10 to 1...

I read "George Washington's War" by Robert Leckie. I found it to be very informative.[/QUOTE]

These British army regulars were seasoned vets as well. The most formidable army in the world at the time. Up to that point they had fought and won major battles on most every continent. Truly amazing, I absolutely love American history. These men, these rag-tag band of everyday citizens, should be inspiration to us all, and the ultimate testiment to the American spirit. Not to mention, a reminder of what it truly means to call one's self an American.
