A Nearly Forgotten Holiday - Patriot's Day April 19th

I have been reminded of something that I should not have forgotten. Today, April 19th, is the 233rd anniversary of the battle between British troops and American militia in Concord. It is a terrible shame that this event is not remembered with parades and cheers. But, generally, it is not. Here is a link to a better writing on the matter than I could muster up. Read it and reflect on what we've made of the courage of those brave men.
