Just before you walk over the wooden bridge in Concord, heading toward the visitors' center, on the left adjacent to the stone wall, is a well marked grave.

It is the grave of several British "redcoats" who were killed that day.

The grave is very well cared for and given deep respect.

It is good that we keep alive the memory of Freepers who have passed from us, but still watch...

History will repeat itself.

The Book “Paul Revere’s Ride” has a great description of the tactics employed by the militia on the road to Boston. It is an excellant read.

Thanks. A good re-telling of this great story.

This is the first of two April dates of significance, the other being April 30, 1789, the date of General Washington's Inauguration as our first president.

Can we learn from history? Winning is about tactics and strategy, about out maneuvering the enemy.

Too often in our current political struggles we act as if we are entitled to win because our cause is just. But if we don’t work hard and work smart for the victory, do we deserve victory?
