"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

"But we are all British !" "We were until today". A classic line that makes me wonder if many modern day Americans realize that the colonials were British themselves until independence.

"Stand your ground. Do not fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." ------Captain Parker April 19, 1775 Lexington, MA

Ephriam Harrington, my ancestor, fought that morning. His cousins were on the Green. I obtained a half penny dug up at the old bridge site. I share it when ever I can at Living History events.

Wow, what a blast from the past. We watched this movie in high school when it came out. Back in the day when schools still taught us history and patriotism.

I read this book when I was a teenager. I loved the story then, and I loved this movie. It stayed very true to the book.

Ah, yes. I grew up watching it every 4th of July. Love the movie so much, I found it on a streaming service to watch as an adult.

I can't imagine the feelings those men felt on that day, as the British approached. I am grateful for their courage.
