And a big thanks to the French and Spanish who helped us succeed against the Mutha Country...

Shout out to my 5X G Grandfather... Maj. Lewis Lanier... just one of my illustrious peeps who I can thank for my comfortable life on this side of the pond:

A Patriot of the American Revolution for VIRGINIA (Soldier). DAR Ancestor # A069095

Lewis Lanier was born 1753 (some report 1756) in Brunswick County, VA, according to his

release August 22, 1774 by his guardian, William Lanier. Lewis was educated in law and being an

ardent Whig, he volunteered in the Virginia Militia, and was soon promoted to Captain, then,

Major. He participated in the Battle of Long Bridge. He was wounded twice and taken prisoner

for nine months. He was in the boat with his second cousin George Washington, during the famous Crossing of the

Delaware River. George Washington later presented him with a replacement sword and as friends

gave him a set of andirons founded with Washington's bust.
