Thank you Tara. Once again, I learn of another Hero of an American War. This time, it is of a woman, Anna Marie Lane who served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and who was severely wounded at the battle of Germantown.

It makes my heart feel good to learn that the Virginia legislature granted her a significant pension for her service, at a time when women weren't given the stature or rights of a man.

I have purchased all of your Children's books and donated them to the library of our local non-profit Literacy Center. Again, thank you Tara.

Anna Maria was certainly a courageous and determined woman. Even after being wounded she went back to serving her country. She must have been an inspiration to her husband. It’s good, upon the Virginia governor’s request, she was given a pension. She was an amazing patriot. I’m glad we have some history of her life and contributions for the cause of freedom. Another piece of history that is new to me.
