NHD Thesis Statemant

The person i picked is Marquis De Lafayette. He was a French volunteer during the revolution. As a Major General in the continental army he became close friends with General George Washington. Washington was very admirable of the fact that Lafayette was risking his life to fight for other people who would have had little significance in his life. He is the only person in the world to become a general at age 22. Had it not been for this man we might still be British. He lead our troops into some of the most important battles of the Revolutionary war and while sustaining wounds of his own he did not quit this is why I picked him for my NHD topic.
