Does a person who wasn't in the military (per say) count as a Patriotic Service Profile?

Question

Just finished creating a profile for Charles Hewitt son of Hewitt-38 and Stanton-184. According to ''History of Stonington'' he is one of the men who assisted in taking the British General Prescott out of his bed, the 2nd time he was kidnapped. I haven't found proof of military service so does this make him a Patriotic Servant? I added the code in the { } rather than the veteran one, just want to make sure that's the correct coding.

Answer 1

He counts:

Patriotic Service (Non Military, paid Taxes, Supplied Beef, etc) please add the following code at the top of the edit box:

{{1776}}

One definition of Patriot is a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.  So you do not have to be in the military to be a Patriot.
