On this journey, I visit historic All Hallows Parish to pay my respects to some forgotten patriots of the American Revolution — ordinary men who answered the call. Walking among their graves, I explore the stories of Revolutionary War soldiers and early Americans whose sacrifices helped shape the fight for independence, even if history rarely remembers their names. There are small burial grounds like this all across America, which offer a solemn and powerful reminder that the American Revolution was fought not only by famous founders, but by countless everyday patriots now buried and largely forgotten.
While many DAR and SAR chapters thankfully mark and preserve these patriot graves, most Americans have never even heard their names. My goal is to share the names and stories (when I can find them) of these men and women.
