This 250th 🇺🇸 is a exciting year for everyone, but especially exciting for anyone who is a descendant of a Revolutionary War Patriot. I’m a descendant of 6 but recently found out about this patriot who served at Valley Forge with Washington. Anyone else out there that has Patriots that need a shout out for their bravery and service to this great 🇺🇸 country!
