Just before they boarded the boats, the General had the American Crisis, the challenge by Thomas Paine, read to the men:
“These are the times that try men’s souls: the summer soldier and the sunshine
patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he
that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny,
like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the
harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we
esteem too lightly"
Amen.
Against all odds. Everything is possible with God.
Do not forget how we got here.
