isn’t it? You might be able to answer this question, since you probably haven’t been in that situation. However, the starved, freezing, poorly clothed men that were stationed at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778 could definitely answer this question. An additional question they had to ask themselves at Valley Forge was: “Will I re-enlist or will I quit?” If I would have been in a soldier’s shoes in those fateful winter days, I would have re-enlisted. The facts that there was honor in…

could have families that miss them every single day. They would be glad to see their loved one in person rather than through a letter. I know I would myself.

Valley Forge would you have quit? 1. The freedom of America. I would fight for my freedom. If I was a soldier, I would stay to fight because I would like my freedom to speak and use actions. I feel that I would want to say what I want to say. My actions is because of my religion. I would want to go to whatever church and believe what I believe.
