Patriots reaffirm their commitment to our Constitution and Country

Published

on

This year the Shenandoah Christian Alliance sponsored a program of thanksgiving for the Constitution of the United States on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at Mt. Hebron Cemetery.  Co-chairing the event was General George Washington, himself, portrayed by Dale Carpenter from Front Royal. This event celebrated arguably the greatest governing document ever written and those early patriots that sacrificed their fortunes (and, in many cases lives) to insure that their families and future generations would be able to share the bounty of this nation and pursue their God given rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.

Forty American Revolution War veterans buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery were honored for their sacrifice in securing our Independent and Freedom. A Nation governed by a Constitution is what they fought and died to establish.

Numbers of scholars spoke on the Constriction and Bill of Rights. Revolutionary War Soldiers and re-enactors told stories and shown their equipment. Liberty Man, a popular “old soldier” met kids and adults who attended. Liberty Man portrays his Great x4 Grandfather Abel Johnston who fought the British alongside General Daniel Morgan. Many other descendants of soldiers, who fought in the Revolution, were present.

Master of Ceremonies Alan Morrison, a popular pastor in the Shenandoah Valley, shared master of ceremonies duties with General George Washington, who has come to honor his old soldiers buried at the Winchester Cemetery.

Patriot Daniel Morgan honored with musket fire.

 

Hundreds of Soldiers, Marines, and Sailors who fought in all our wars for our Constitution are buried at Mt. Hebron.
