E Pluribus Unum--out of many, one. This is the real story of our nation's birth. Perhaps BOTH men were part of the post riders. We can never know for certain, but we do know the outcome. Live free or die!

Real heroes don't want recognition; they're satisfied with results. 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲

Thank you Tara. I am certain that there were many who remain unnamed for their patriotic and heroic deeds during the Revolutionary War years. Some achieved fame while others remain unnamed. The important fact is that they worked together towards achieving the goal of independence and freedom.

There have been many unknown/unnamed people throughout history (some we can read about in the scriptures) who did what needed to be done without thought of fame or fortune. We are thankful for all of them and would call it a privilege to be counted among them. Thank you, Tara, for bringing one unknown to our attention.

Many, I am sure, lay in graves unknown, who made great contribution up to and including their lives much less their earthly goods for this cause of freedom, we have enjoyed for over 200 years in the country they helped to found. For this freedom I am grateful and am willing to do again if necessary. Like many of those gone before me, it is not necessary that my name be remembered if only those freedoms are retained. Thank you, Tara Ross, for bringing this Patriot’s little known deed to our knowledge and remembrance.

Many an unknown hero didn't get the recognition they deserved. Without these people, we might not have the life we now enjoy.

Thanks Tara.
