Dear Friends, Primos, and family:
Happy July 4th. As you celebrate this day, let me bring to your attention, the
words of Judge Edward Butler, Past National President General of the Sons of
the American Revolution, who writes in his newly published, Galvez/ Spain Our
Forgotten Ally in the American Revolutionary War that . . .
"WITHOUT SPANISH ASSISTANCE DURING THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTIONARY WAR,
WE WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE BRITISH FLAG.
17,000 Spanish troops and sailors fought the English in North America during
the war.
Galvez army drove the English out of the lower Mississippi River by defeating
them at Manchac, Baton Rouge & Natchez.
His Spanish army and militia defeated the English at St. Louis.
His Spanish army and militia captured the British fort with a warehouse of
weapons, food and supplies at Fort St. Joseph at Niles, Michigan.

He led the attacks on Mobile and Pensacola and drove the British from the Gulf
coast.
Spanish merchants supplied the colonists with arms, ammunition and supplies as
early as 1774.
On one day the Spanish fleet captured 55 British ships, including 8 war ships,
taking over 2,500 crewmen as prisoners."
Our Spanish ancestors were among those soldiers who fought for the freedom of
this continent. Let us celebrate with pride in the contributions of our ancestors.
Enjoy sharing these facts.
God bless America and God bless Israel
