Standing at the replica Old North Bridge at Concord takes your breath away. You feel the presence of Revolution and Liberty.

It sure does. While taking the 'day trip' tour bus in Boston, I stopped at the North Bridge. I was totally mesmerized looking at the Bridge and the Statue. I was so into it, the bus driver had to come and get me and said, "Sir, we have to go now." It's hard to describe the feeling. . I highly recommend it to all patriots to see it if you're in the Boston area.

Applies the same now as it did back then:

". . one of the participants recalled Parker's words as being what is now engraved in stone at the site of the battle: ''Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

Just a quibble - that’s the Minuteman statue in Lexington, not the Minuteman statue in Concord.
