My Dad got remarried and now lives in Western Massachusetts. I remember going to visit and seeing all the signs for lexington and concorde exits off the highway when traveling to his house from the airport.
I didnt get a chance to go visit on that trip but hopefully will next time. I do remember being depressed thinking about the current state of Massachusetts gun laws and the fact that The start of the American revolution directly involved the British coming to take colonist Arms. |

They were great men. Unfortunately today, the population of Lexington and Concord is a sad reflection of those who fought for freedom to create this great country. They are all ultra liberal (as is most of the Northeast) and have little regard for the Constitution and the original founding principles.
Living in the area, ask me how I know. We are the epicenter of gun control. Many are opposed to the offensive Minuteman Statue in Concord. https://californiaglobe.com/fr/another-mascot-change-this-time-its-concord-high-school-dumping-minutemen/ ETA: There are still a few who have respect and keep the memory alive every year. . |

The signage and advertisement of the battlefield’s was minimal. |

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee. Ralph Waldo Emerson |

fast forward to April 2024 and the British foreign minister is in the US begging to fund a war effort. This time it's not the french. Now the speaker of the house has coincidentally rolled over and agreed to hand over the funds. No tea party or tar and feathering occurred.

Donate to your local 2A organizations before the national orgs. The local orgs are proactive and get things done in your state house where the nationals are reactive and try to fix things after the fact and from a distance.
