George Washington: “I therefore nominate M, de Poiery to be a captain by brevet.”

True patriotism is not just a feeling but a commitment to the well-being of our country.

I can not express how greatly affected I am at this new proof of public confidence.

Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished and endeavored to avert war, and exhausted to the last drop the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause.

It is with peculiar satisfaction I can say, that prompted by a high sense of duty in my attendance on public worship, I have been gratified by the liberal and interesting discourses delivered in your Churches.
