Knox was dispatched to Fort Ticonderoga in western Vermont to orchestrate the shipment 59 captured British cannons to Boston, That's; 60 tons that needed to be moved 300 miles over mountains and rivers. The logistical feat began in December 1775. Knox used winter as his ally, with sleds slipping of over snowy hills and frozen rivers, Yet it was grueling hauling the weapons up and down the Berkshires. Horses, oxen and the backs of courageous men managed to complete the task, monumental in its achievement.

It was Washington's first majat r victory of the Revolutionary war. Thanks, Henry.

But the Colors of the American flag had significant meaning too as the founders envisioned this country of the future: Red represents Courage, White was Purity (Today it would be Integrity and Decency) and Blue was Justice, Yes, the ideals for America were set in the colors of our flag -- Courage, Integrity and Justice. Thamks to a great reader for this flag waving Tidlet.
