• dolley has been an inspirational example of
  bravery and patriotism for our country. More
  than ever before I find myself bursting with
  pride at her accomplishments. Dolley was already
  known for her gist of bringing together

  her popular, festive gatherings. how wonderful
  it would be if only our conflict with great
  britain could be resolved at one of dolleys
  social evenings.
