It's unfortunate that the writer of this excellent piece doesn't know the correct use of the word "it's."

A sidebar story to this one is that General Washington brought to his encampment, days before this attack, Thomas Paine, whose American Crisis I had just been published in Philadelphia. Washington directed Paine to read his work before the assembled troops. It began with these words:

"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...."

Oops. Sorry about that. I originally wrote this piece last night but the file was accidentally deleted. I had to undertake a quick rewrite this morning from memory and made a few errors. I see that I misused "it's" in several places and also was a little redundant in my word choice. Probably screwed up the "comma" things too.

I need an editor ! hahaha

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
