I'm with ya.

When do ya want to start this "Wear your Gun to Work" day? I'm thinkin' it would be a nice touch to do it on my birthday! :-)

Course, we'd have to wait several months but that gives us plenty of time to publicize and enlist aid to make this a national effort. So, is March 22 okay with you? :-D

What was the date of the "shot heard 'round the world" at the old north bridge? Seems to me that this would be the appropriate day for such a thing.

A few years ago I was visiting our Boston office and took a weekend to go off exploring. One of my stops was the Old North Bridge. I'm tellin' ya... you cannot stand there on that bridge and not feel it. You can see the British on one shore, and the militia on the other shore. You can hear them. You can still hear the shot.

That was a big moment for me. Almost as important as my visit to the USS Constitution, but that's another story.
