Can you help me add a Revolutionary War sticker? [closed]

Question

Deakins-140 William Deakins served in the 8th Regiment Pennyslvania Continental Army under Col. Moses Hazen. He was enlisted 1777-1783. I have tried but unable to add a 1776 sticker. Please help me. He was a private. I tried but unable to do it. I did add some categories to the profile. Thank you so much. Still learning, it is hard sometimes to teach an old dog new tricks.

I'm having trouble too.  Last night I must have gotten a new copy or maybe an old one..who knows.  Are you supposed to to cut and paste and then fill in the blanks in when you put it on the profile page? I'm not good at stickers anyway, btw.

Answer 1

This is the hardest sticker to apply by far and I don't know why. I've made a freespace of stickers and templates, etc, that I use more often to help me out. You may want to do something similar.  Here is where I got it, but had to look up the image and add it.  I suppose you could change the image if you want, but just check out this page first:

The DAR Patriot index states he served for Maryland.
