I cannot urge more passionately, that everyone refer to and read General Geo. Washington's NEWBERG SPEECH which he gave after having learned that his Command Officers were secretly meeting to consider abandoning their Commands, having learned, incredibly, of the citizenry for whom they were fighting and for whom they and their men were mightily suffering,in their Battle for Freedom, made known that said citizens were increasingly withdrawing their support from the troops and their MISSION. Washington's surprising attendance at their meeting and having gotten their permission to address them, did so in a profound, impassioned, soulful, and ever-memorable and historic speech. It so inspired his officers that they cheered and swore their loyalty to the cause of the Fight for Independence in which they ultimately prevailed and VICTORIOUSLY. READ IT. Someone may want to READ IT TO THE SACRAMENTO AND ANY OTHER similarly misguided 'faux patriot'City Councils!
Eagleeye; SEMPER FI !
