"President Donald Lewis and the Harry S. Truman Color Guard, are shown here presenting Thomas ""Brooks"" Lyles, Jr., who was our guest speaker at the November 9, 2013 meeting, with a Certificate of Appreciation. Compatriot Lyles spoke on the Battle of Princeton. The Battle of Princeton was a turning point in the Revolutionary War. Having suffered grave defeats in New York in 1776, Washington now proved that his army could win; in addition, he now held a firm position in strategic New Jersey, which lay between the two great colonial cities of New York and Philadelphia."
