General Horatio Gates (September 1777)

While most famous as a heroic Dragon slayer, the famous patron saint of England, St. George, is also traditionally honored as a patron of Canada and has specific military and civic patronages in the United States where he is recognized as the patron saint of the U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry Branch, as well as, the Boy Scouts of America, who consider him a patron saint of Scouting, with specialized awards offered by Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Anglican networks. April 23 is the Feast day of Saint George, the anniversary of his death in 303 AD (some regions & traditions observe St. George’s Day on May 6).
