This is the Oath of Allegiance and Fidelity that was signed by Major General Nathanael Greene while stationed and encamped with the Continental Army at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. His oath was sworn before, and also signed by, George Washington, General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.
This affirmation came to be taken due to a Congressional Resolve dated February 3, 1778, that directed “every officer who holds or shall hereafter hold a commission or office from Congress” to take this oath.
