To establish in Washington DC a monument in honor of America's first troops, the men of the American Revolutionary War

The United States was established by the patriots of the American War of Independence, 1776-1783. Approximately 20,000 Americans soldiers died during the conflict. A staggering number at that time, which would be equivalent to over 1,000,000 Americans perishing today! Ironically, in a city filled with monuments, there is no National Monument to America's first troops in our Nations's capital. It is 231 years past due!
