Mary Ludwig Hays' noble selfless actions in the Battle of Monmouth during American Revolution earned her the endearing name of Molly Pitcher
by the American troops she was aiding . . . She was and remains a Great American Patriot! And the best way to honor Molly Pitcher (1744–1832)
is the following account of her efforts during the Battle of Monmouth...

Molly Pitcher's fame began two years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the American Colonies. The fight for independence
had yet to take a favorable turn toward the Colonials. As the war continued, 28 June 1778 proved to be another day of fighting with stories of bravery.

Monmouth rocked with musket and gun fire.
The colonial cannon line under General Stirling aimed the barrels of its guns straight down on the British Redcoats as they attempted to cross a causeway.
Stirling's left-wing cannons bought time for General Washington to take command and regroup General Lee's scattered forces.
The gun line met the demands of the mission.

The heat of June 1778 soared to 96 degrees as the guns barked at the British. The cannon barrels smoked, and men fell from heatstroke.

In this stifling heat, a woman, Mary Ludwig Hays, walked back and forth from a well (or possibly a nearby creek)
carrying water to the hot men and smoldering guns. Her husband, William Hays, manned one of the valuable cannons.
They were making a difference by holding the causeway.

As American men fell from wounds and heat, the woman's bucket of water (or "pitcher") became precious. The men among the cannons began to call her ...
Molly Pitcher. A large woman, she reportedly carried wounded men away from the line to shade trees as she made her trip back to the well.

During one of her many returns to the line, she saw her husband fall.
A Colonial officer ordered his gun moved to the rear to make room on the line; he had no one left to man it. But Molly Pitcher stepped forward
to keep her husband's gun roaring - every cannon was important.

I’ll go soon with #184!
Sore right shoulder from all the typing yesterday...*sigh*.

"Like I told you yesterday. or the day before, it is my prayer, wish and hope to meet you one day soon,"

That's what I was responding to. President Cain’s inaugural would be a fabulous place to meet you! We should start thinking of an FR meet up for it!

If these buttholes FORCE mittens in, well, that's an entirely different "meet up".

You betcha! Entirely different meet-up!

Go for it! Good Luck!

But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them.
The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.

Glad the Boss wrote it! I’ve seen too many say they would vote for Romney because anybody is better than Obama. I told them a vote for Romney IS a vote for Obama.

All the action was on that thread. Too bad we didn’t see it earlier!

Yep. A vote for Romney is four more of Obama or a liar just like him.
