I would do it if we were at civil war with the Left and BLM/Antifa were occupying my house. I love this house and have put hundreds of hours into its improvement. They will never get to enjoy this house.
John Hart was my ancestor. He had to flee his home to live in the surrounding woods and caves as the British were searching for rebel leaders as they chased Washington through the state. He was in his 60s at the time and hiding out in DECEMBER while this was happening. His house was severely damaged in the process. He eventually returned and 2 years later gave his fields to 10,000 American troops as a safe place for them to camp. He died shortly after penniless and in severe pain for 6 months from kidney stones. His property was seized and sold off to cover the debt he had accrued for supporting his country and his cause.
""Five were captured." This implies they were captured because they were signers. Only one was captured for signing the document. The rest were captured as soldiers."
This point you're making here I find pedantic. Saying they weren't captured BECAUSE they were signors, but merely SOLDIERS, is almost lefty-levels of retarded. But I don't want to be too rude here, same team and all. But you're stepping on your own toes for no reason.
Your only point of helpful clarification is about the deaths of the "9". In your info regarding their deaths, you mention the final thing that killed them. Were these 9 men truly wounded during the war? If they were, then their final causes of death in some of those instances could be attributed to wounds originating from the war. And the sailor missing is presumed dead, though if it indeed happened after the war, that's a valid criticism.
However, notice the stone gets the general point across much more succinctly than you. Nothing is lost in honoring these men by leaving it at what the stone says.
Thanks for the information!
Also, this is pretty funny:
You have to have a certain amount of hate for the British to burn your house down.
Or you have more love for your country and countrymen than your own possessions. Its not like the British were occupying it to hold a tea party...
That's true. I suppose I could've worded it better.

I'd do it. If I couldn't get back into my own home, and a bunch of fucking commies were using it? Shit. BURN IT.
If I can control my garage door with an app, I can certainly deploy the Claymore Roomba with an app.
Well now I want a roomba though....
Yep. Thomas Nelson did that. Everyone needs to visit Yorktown at least once. Local community college named for him.
Id do it 1000 times over if i had to. Materials are immaterial in this case.

It is my favorite 'thing' but just a thing.

No good deed goes unpunished.
Thanks for trying to educate.
