1775, Lexington and Concord. The start of it all; pissed off farmers.  |

  The British Regiments suffered 19 officers and 250 soldiers killed and wounded. The American losses did not exceed 90 men. They wanted our guns and ammo. We gave them some lead. We can do it again. |

Not everyone picked up on that, Jess.
I'll be going on the Honor Flight next Wednesday. I am looking forward to viewing the tributes in DC to all "Minute Men' including more modern ones. WWII Memorial, The Vietnam Wall, The 19 Korea War military figures of the Korean War Memorial, and the changing of the Guard at Arlington cemetery.
I hope that no politicians of any kind, especially high ranking Feds, show up during our tour to bask in the 'Glory' and maybe get some brownie points if there's a TV camera around.
Wayne, Solo1

At the British Airways ticket office in Boston one year they were having some type of fare promotion and they had big signs that said, "Come Home. All is forgiven" -RP |
