December 25, 1776 George Washington’s army crossed the Delaware River

for a surprise attack against the Hessian forces in Trenton,N.J.

The successful surprise attack found the enemy unprepared.  It was a major victory for the beleaguered American army.  A victory that began the turning of the tide against the British  and their allied forces.

If the mission had failed we might be British subjects today.
