“I regret that I cannot be with you, but we have almost
run out food and medical supplies.
In addition, I have no blankets for my men — and
winter is only a few months away.
After years of fighting one of the world’s great super
powers, our only victory has been to escape total defeat.
Even if the rest of the world continues to ignore our
cause, we will fight on. For we are fighting not only for
ourselves but for all mankind. We are fighting for freedom
and human dignity and the right to worship the God of our
choice.
I urge you to tell the world of our plight and send
whatever help you can.
God bless you for caring enough to read my letter.”
George Washington
Valley Forge, September 1780.
