Reagan's inaugural speech could be repeated next January with only a few changes.

No doubt Joseph Warren would've been as well known as Jefferson or Adams in American history had he not been killed at Bunker (Breeds) Hill, as he was extremely critical in the events leading up to the revolution.

Its too bad his role has been scarcely mentioned in US classrooms for so long.

I've never understood why a film was never made about the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Also, its my understanding that the patriots might have been able to hold the redoubt if they had bayonets. Very few of them did and the vast majority of deaths happened when the British swarmed over the walls.

June 18 is the 200th anniversary of the US declaration of war against Great Britain in the “War of 1812”—sometimes called the Second War of Independence. That war is often described as ending in a draw, but it did force the British to begin to respect American rights, which they had not done during the years 1783 to 1812.

Reagn Remembers Dr.Joseph Warren, hero at Bunker Hill (June 17,1775)

How embarrassing (and sloppy) to misspell Reagan's name.

Thanks for the post and the ping....

Turned down a general's commission in order to fight with the common troops on Breed's Hill.

The Warren Tavern in Charlestown is a good place to sock one back.
