Today's Story from Our Flag

... recalls an American Revolution heroine who shouted, "The British are burning Danbury!" ...
On this 'Women to Honor Wednesday,' we are celebrating Sybil Ludington - a 16-year old girl who deserves more notice. On the evening of April, 27, in 1777, she made an important 40-mile ride, on her horse named 'Star.' She was racing across Putnam County, New York in the dark to warn citizens and colonial soldiers that the British Army was coming. Her ride did not save Danbury from being attacked, but it helped the colonial soldiers to defeat and push back the British troops to Long Island Sound.
So, why is she not remembered with more than just a 1976 stamp (see below)?
