**Please refresh this episode before you launch as we had some upload issues on several podcast platforms - should be fixed!** "Dear Soldier, ..." and so begins a letter penned to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the birth of a new nation. The author? Air Force veteran, Stacey Ferguson of the Camden Historical Foundation. Stacey felt compelled to write this letter after joining a team who recently excavated the remains of 14 soldiers who fought in the American Revolution. The soldiers, laying in shallow graves since 1780, received proper military honors in 2023. Stacey placed her letter in their coffins. Stacey describes this life-changing experience, while sharing a story that many of us don't know about the American Revolution – one of the deadliest battles for American forces in the fight for freedom. The soldiers remain unidentified at the time of this conversation but now, they do not remain unknown. Wishing you a Happy July 4th - Thank you for choosing SmartHER News.
