Under General George Washington, the Continental Army fought for the independence and rights of a fledgling nation. This first American Army— primarily made up of ordinary citizens with little or no warfighting experience—comprised Soldiers who held a zealous desire for independence. Their motivation for freedom ultimately led them to defeat the well-established and well-trained British army. This motivation and love for country are instilled in today’s Soldiers as they continue to fight for and defend freedom from oppression for all.
