## Resource

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 176 – Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger celebrate Independence Day in Sharon, Massachusetts, exploring the story of a Revolutionary War hero who never achieved a fancy rank, but he made all the difference. His is a story not heard enough. It's an historical tale about a man who has risen to legend status because he didn't follow the rules, and that may have helped with the war.
