Every country has his heroes, all my life i have been hearing about the independece battles of America; now i can talk about their heroes, that character who fight for the freedom of their countries. United States of America, here was born George Washington in 1732, he was the comander of the continental Army in the America revolurtionary war and served as the first president of the USA; in 1778 George Washington marked July 4 with a double ration of rum for his soldiers.

Another hero is Juan Pablo Duarte, was born in Dominican Republic in 1813. We were dominated by the Haitians for 22 years, he got tired of that and decided to fight with them for our freedom; he created an asosiation called La Trinitaria, through this, he could create a plan for the battle, and with his best friends Francisco del Rosario Sanchez and Ramon Mella, and other soldiers, in 1844 he made us free.

George Washington and Juan Pablo Duarte were two men who fight for their country and its independence against our invasors.
