“You look different today,” my friend said to me when I stopped by to visit her at work. “Different good or different bad?” I immediately asked trying to make sure the difference she saw was a good thing. “I don’t know, just different,” she said.

He believed in the American cause so much that he was willing to fight and die with no reward other than knowing he helped us to be free from British tyranny.
