A Few Revolutionary War Uniforms and Leaders at Yorktown

October 20, 1981.  From "The Mini-Pages" found in many newspapers across the country.  I had ancestors that fought for the Americans and I had ancestors that fought for the British.  Very happy with the results of that war I must say!  My man, George Washington, is one of my favorite historical figures.  I am so thankful for the men, women and children of that time in this great land.  The hardships that they had to endure for the freedom of their country.  GOD bless them and GOD bless all the brave men and women and their families that help to keep our country safe and secure.
