Winter of 1777. Snow up to the knees. Soldiers wrapped in rags, feet bleeding on frozen ground. Washington’s army was starving, sick, and exhausted. And yet, they stayed. They trained under von Steuben in the biting cold, learning discipline and tactics that would later turn them into a force capable of standing toe-to-toe with the British. Valley Forge wasn’t a victory in the traditional sense. It was something greater — the moment a ragged group of rebels became an army. And from that winter’s fire, a nation was born. #Military #AmericanHistory #Patriotism
