PATRIOT DREAMS

Before the American colonies even made their declaration of independence, the Second Continental Congress gathered together in Philadelphia to formally create a standing Army.
The next day, June 15, 1775, Congress chose George Washington, a Virginian, to be commander in chief.

Washington's military experience was perhaps greater than that of any other American, and he came from the largest and arguably the most important of the southern colonies. His impressive appearance, quiet and confident manner, and good work in the military committees of Congress had impressed his compatriots.

This original hefty Sterling Silver medallion is fashioned after an original Continental Army uniform button. It measures just over an inch in diameter and is suspended from a 28 inch tan leather cord with ten Sterling Silver beads . The cords join with a Sterling Silver fastener.
