A quote from a real jersey militia man
He shouldered his musket in the days of his youth against a cruel, powerful and unrelenting foe who were wasting, spoiling and destroying his oppressed country; burning her houses and defenseless towns and exposing her helpless citizens to indescribable miseries.

And led on by the immortal Washington and other dauntless heroes
