Men of the Maryland 400, August 27, 1776 Courage Determination, Patriotism and Love of Country Young men from all walks of life chose to fight and sacrifice for a land they believed was blessed by God and very special. Young men who came together for a cause driven by faith and honor to save and ultimately protect this special, precious land we call the United States of America. These young men were the first to have uniforms, the first to receive training to face the greatest Military force in the known world at the time. The British Elite were the best known Military Force in all of the known world at the time. It is difficult to imagine what the young men were thinking. This book is not so much about the many horrendous battles fought during the years of the American Revolution. It is to thank and commend the young men who fought and the sacrifices of their families. Our heartfelt tradition of honoring all of our brave military people continues today and hopefully long into the future. God bless, honor and remember all
