on the night of Aug. 5, 1777,
General John stark was preparing
to face british troops led by
british general john burgoyne…
In 1862, the american
civil war was raging.
Union and confederate
forces met in the bloody
battle of shiloh…
“stark’s men
were warned
by the eternal
pm soldier…”
“union general
grant stood
with his men…”
“…as confederate
general johnston
attacked.”
“for two days the union
forces stood their ground
against overwhelming odds…”
“Grant was able to drive
back the attack because
his equipment held up.
The
eternal pm soldier
was
there
and his
message was
heard!”
“the next day,
stark’s militiamen
met burgoyne’s
forces and
annihilated
them!”
“PM helped
win the day.”
Be
pre-
pared
for
tomorrow!
check your
equipment
carefully!
your life
depends
on it!
“make sure your
flintlocks work
smoothly. a
delay in firing
can be
fatal!”
“keep your powder
dry.
check powder horns for
holes or splits. knock the
rust off your bayonets.”
It’s a good thing
you checked those
cannons for
weak
spots…
or they’da
cracked by now!
