  11. TODAY IN HISTORY - 235 years ago, Gen. Washington & his army arrived at Valley Forge where they spent the harsh winter. The suffering troops, who held together by loyalty to the Patriot cause and to General Washington, emerged stronger and better disciplined. Nine days later they defeated the British at the Battle of Monmouth.

That is where the problem lays, that is where the President needs to start addressing and that is what we want to solve in the long run; an America for the children and the future we can build on and one that can create jobs.
