Topic > Valley Forge - 850

Even through all the difficult situations I faced at Valley Forge, I would still reenlist and return for another term. I know there will be people who will oppose my idea of ​​re-enlisting because the experience at Valley Forge had given us reasons to resign, but behind the difficulty of the situations, I know that Valley Forge had also given us reasons to stay. One of the reasons I would reenlist is because I want to set a good example for younger troops and people in the United States. Document D stated: “Yet they still show a spirit of alacrity and contentment not expected of such young troops.” This sentence tells you that despite the difficult times in this place, the young soldiers are still happy and are still willing to suffer all this and win the freedom that their country deserves; so why can't we? If we give up now, and slowly, the young soldiers will lose the determination they have now. We are setting an example for all the troops through everything we do, so if all of us leave, they will leave too because there will be no one here to look up to. George Washington is such a powerful and great leader, so if I leave I won't be a great role model for the troops. The image in Document B shows George Washington introducing the congressmen to the soldiers and their living conditions. This image shows that George Washington really cares about his soldiers and that he would ...... middle of paper ...... be able to cope with these problems to win freedom for our country. Don't be like the summer soldier or sunny patriot who is only there when times are easy but not when times are hard. This is a great time to show states that we are strong men who don't back down even when situations are brutal. I know you all want to go home and see your family, but do they need you as much as all the states and George Washington need you? Now is not the time to back down and leave the military; we're halfway there, so why stop when you're halfway to freedom. Every time the situation gets worse, someone will leave, and in the end we will truly see who the strongest and most loyal troops are..
