Mr. Laurens suffered greatly due to his support of the war. He lost his son and his health.

Wow. Wow! Mr. Laurens was a Patriot who had scruples hardly seen today. His example of honor and dedication to his country was amazing. Thank you Tara and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

I think he did more than his share, Betsy Tara Ross; but I bet he still didn't think he'd done enough. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We admire these heroes because of their strong will and principled dedication to the cause of freedom. Characteristics rarely found today among those who are more dedicated to their agenda than American ideals.

I don’t remember hearing this hero defining story of the Laurens father and son previously?

Great story of heroism in the face of death!

Thank you Tara!
