people were signing up to serve and Deborah wanted to sign up but she was told women can’t serve it was not something you did in that time period . So she decided to dress up as a man so she could serve and she said her name was her dead brothers name his name was Robert. Deborah got them to believe that she was a man and for awhile it worked just fine until… . The battle in Tarrytown ,New York when “Robert” was badly hurt . She was worried that the doctor would see because despite her/his wishes the other soldiers took her to the doctor . She had to tell the doctor her secret to save being exposed.So the dr. took her to his house to fix her but just in case. She had to stitch her own leg to keep her secret and even though she was in crazy pain she did get her self stitched up.But Deborah was very brave in the middle of a battle .So, she ended up earning the soldiers respect .And that is the story of Debrah Sampson. So in my opinion she was really a hero. And I’m sure if we ever got the pleasure of meeting her, we would all feel the amazingness of seeing someone so brave in the middle of a battle .The End.
