Soldier+Life

Kitty Luo =**What's it Like to be Part of the Army?** = To be in the Continental Army is to join the fight for freedom with our General George Washington. You'll spend your time training and fighting the British so we can become a free country and protect out families from further abuses from the British Government but, won't always be training and fighting, our soldiers also have free time for themselves to do what ever you please.

=Life in the Army: = You'll be spending much of your time with the rest of the soldiers preparing for any battles; almost 3 to 5 days on the green. Now, you won't be sleeping in a warm cozy house or the most comfortable bed, but it all prepare you for the battles we encounter and the coldness of the bitter winter. On some days our soldiers will march through the night, no matter how tired, just to get a head start on our enemy and one step closer to victory; just like the battle of Trenton. =**Why** the Continental Army? = Our army has been more hopeful then ever since the Battle of Trenton. 2000 or more men marched through the freezing cold night in nothing but rags. It took over 6 for everyone to cross the river, then they marched to the battle site sore, tired, and achy. But, this didn't stop them from fighting their best. They charged into Trenton and killed everyone in sight, after Colonel Rall was shot, the Hessians surrendered. The battle had been won; it was the first victory in over 12 months.
