Revolutionary War soldiers who died in 1776, probably due to small pox, being returned to the area where they died.

My cousin took her grandson to see the procession as it left the Albany area this morning.

There’s a nice Revolutionary War cemetery in Sag Harbor, LI, NY.

That’s wonderful. We owe the Revolutionary War veterans everything. Their courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds is awe inspiring and God directed. To think that we will actually get to meet such as these in Heaven is humbling.

Very nice.

God bless these young Continental Army soldiers.

Wish the state and the country would be taught about their sacrifices and offer them, all, the honor and respect they deserve, day to day.

Derrick Hollenbeck my 8th great grandfather served in the 8th Albany Militia which guarded Washington when he visited West Point and discovered Benedict Arnold’s treason. They were there when John Andre was executed.
