As related in a letter dated the following day, General
George Washington wrote to Congress from his
headquarters in  Trenton, New Jersey, to report that
he had transported much      

of the Continental Army’s stores and baggage across the
Delaware River to Pennsylvania on December 2, 1776.

His famous crossing of the Delaware would come less than
one month later.

In his letter, Washington wrote, "Immediately on my arrival
here, I ordered the removal of all the military and other stores
and baggage over the Delaware, a great quantity are already
got over, and as soon as the boats come up from Philadelphia,
we shall load them, by which means I hope to have every
thing secured this night and tomorrow if we are not disturbed."

General George Washington’s army settled into a second
season at Morristown, New Jersey, on December 1, 1779.

On November 26, 1942, Casablanca, a World War II-era drama
starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, premiered in
New York City; it went on to become one of the most beloved
Hollywood movies in history.

Near the end of a weeklong national salute to Americans who
served in the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
was dedicated in Washington, D.C. after a march to its site
by thousands of veterans of the conflict

.

       
The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-
granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939
Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order
of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

The designer of the memorial was Maya Lin, a Yale
University architecture student who entered a
nationwide competition to  create a design for
the monument. Lin, born in Ohio in 1959, the
daughter of Chinese immigrants.
