The boy of loyalty and determination. If he were to never step foot into this country, history would most likely be very different. He saw both America and France as his homes and had the soil from Bunker Hill placed upon his grave so he would be buried with both French and American dirt. Remember him as a man that assisted and fought with the cause of the Americans and as a man who was a flawed human to have caused error like the average man. Nobody is born without a flaw to them and nobody does not make mistakes. Be remembered for not your imperfections, but the triumph of exceeding it and embracing your humanity. We all hold the power within ourselves to become such a figure as the Marquis. See not the bronze statue, but a human such as yourself. The capability of the human mind is truly extraordinary mechanism. Do your part and be a worthy human for people to admire.
I was half asleep when writing this so...it may seem deep or strange Idk... I have school tomorrow.
