Interesting theme, and I¡¯m eager to learn what you find out.?
So happens that my Revolutionary War ancestor was an officer in a militia in western South Carolina. Oops, wrong colony! I learned only recently that he was in a militia rather than the regular colonial army. From the history I¡¯ve read, it seems like the militias were key in winning the war ¡ª along, of course, with support from France. 73, Kay N3KN

Here is the overview from Ken about 2024 13 Colonies.
I have already started researching this.
Anyone have any particular knowledge / expertise in this area?
The 2024 theme for the 13 Colonies SE this year is "Colony State Militias".. Every state has tons of different formed citizen Militias! They are all on the internet. Pick one out, and highlight them for your QSL card for your state!. These were the State Volunteers!
The term "Minute Men" is a blanket meaning for the over-all citizen soldiers so I will use that term and graphics for the main certificate. You can use a special flag, seal/badge/uniform/soldiers, any graphic you can find!?
Even if your State Militia of choice had a famous leader?? You can mention this but try to high light the group as a whole.
