In July, 1779, Congress passed a vote of thanks to Colonel De Fleury, with a gold medal (_see_ Plate II.) for his bravery and courage at Stony Point. During the two years De Fleury was attached to the American army, he took a conspicuous post in all the battles fought within that period; and such was his bravery, that every commander under whom he had the honor to serve, recommended him to the especial notice of Congress.
