Good morning, friends.
I was invited to share about this year's Patriots' Day Patches & Shirts.
In 2023, we began a 5-year series of shirts and patches with the theme "We are descended from Dangerous Men." This year, we honor Prince Estabrook who stood with Captain Parker and was wounded on Lexington Green. He would go on to fight throughout the Revolutionary War.

In previous years, our series honored John Parker, Prudence Wright, and William Heath.

This year's matching Patriot's Day shirt is charcoal heather and will also feature Estabrook.

You are free to share these images wherever will advance the Mission and help fill the lines. :) Direct links to to the full sized pics can be found Patches (https://appleseedinfo.org/pdf/estabrook-1.jpg), Patch Series (https://appleseedinfo.org/pdf/estabrook-2.jpg), Shirt Prone (https://appleseedinfo.org/pdf/estabrook-3.jpg), and Shirt Standing (https://appleseedinfo.org/pdf/estabrook-4.jpg).
Continuing the tradition, we've prepared a special DOM story to spotlight our choice of Prince Estabrook as a Patriot we can look up to. It will be included in the shoot box and available for SB's to download prior to April events.
I hope we all use these shirts to inspire our fellow Americans to be a generation our Founders would be proud of.

I like them, well done. Looking forward to hearing his story.
It's clear the team who designed this series of shirts and patches went to considerable effort and research to ensure all of the subjects were treated with respect and honor. This design is no different. Indeed, more care was surely taken here, to ensure the intent was clear.
I look forward to wearing it. Thank you.
looking forward to getting my hands on these, and getting them out in April!
Ive already had a few folks ask about who Prince Estabrook is based on the patch, so this will be a great way to add some new depth to the Lexington Green.
