George Washington beat the English, and their Germans soldiers known as "Hessians", at Trenton on Xmas day because the enemy troops let their guard down.

Washington, along with many other Founding Fathers, was a Deist - and they weren't into Christianity

Best of luck for your son. I hope he's safe and home ASAP.
