General Nathanael Greene
Heros can be anybody, even someone you don’t know. They might show up and save a life,
or do something to help a school with funds. But they don’t always have to be famous like
George Washington. There’s always heros that aren’t known. My hero is General Nathanael
Greene.
General Greene was one of the best generals President Washington. He was one of the
most dependable generals. Greene fought for other people, and one of his quotes is, ‘I will
fight for our rights, and I won’t give up’. He risked his life fourteen times, so he is very brave.
Whenever he first joined the U.S army, he started at the lowest rank. But because he was
so dependable, he got to one of the highest ranks. His quote, ‘ We fight, get beaten, rise, and
fight again’ gives me a clue he was very determined. General Greene has served the U.S
until he died of sunstroke, but he also stayed true to his word.
General Nathanael Greene is my hero because of all these things. He’s dependable,
determined, brave, and stays true to his word. I hope I become like him one day.
