Christmas Eve 1776
Bernard -- On Christmas Eve 1776 General George Washington and 2400 soldiers braved the freezing cold and ice to cross the Delaware river to attack a garrison of Hessian soldiers under the command of the British crown stationed near Trenton New Jersey. These brave men left the comfort of their homes and family on Christmas to fight for liberty and freedoms granted by the creator. Many of these men made the ultimate contribution to freedom with their lives. Let us not forget the battles for freedom that our ancestors paid for with their lives so that we may live today in these United States of America. We wish all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs http://www.vtfsc.com/ | Created with NationBuilder, software for leaders. |
