Young Patriot Patch
« on: December 20, 2018, 05:23:27 PM »
I've seen this referred to as representing Luther Blanchard as well as William Diamond.  Which one is it?  I don't know if it matters.  They both were about the same age (16-19).  However, Luther Blanchard (age 18) was injured during the advance on the North Bridge and later died (as a result of these injuries?).  Perhaps I know the answer since Diamond was a drummer and Blanchard was a fifer.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

“[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…”
– Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

According to the FAQ page,  it is referred to by several names: William Diamond patch , Luther Blanchard patch, young patriot, and the youth patch.  Thanks, Oz.
