A Revolutionary War Battle off the Shores of England
As I traveled along the English coast, near Flamborough, I came across a light house and a marker describing the historical battle of the American Revolution (September 23, 1779) which took place off of this coast. John Paul Jones (Continental Army/Navy) took control of the Seraphis (a British ship), exclaiming his famous words when asked to surrender as his own ship floundered in the waters…"I have not yet begun to fight!". He was right,he was able to take the Seraphis, moved his crew onto the captured ship and sailed home a hero.

Pennsylvania has been the home of many historical events. While touring some of the these sites I was able to explore Valley Forge, one of the most significant events of the Revolution. It was here where during this winter camp, George Washington rallied his troops under severe weather conditions, disease, death, and shortage of supplies. He read Thomas Paine's "The Crisis" to the troops motivating them to continue on for freedom was worth the sacrifice. This was a major turning point in preparing the troops to be better soldiers. We are grateful to those who chose to stay. Would you have stayed? What would be the great ovation for staying?
