I live in New York city, where rich Rev War history is all over the place. Yet you’d never know it from the sparse number of monuments or even plaques. There are some around, but not nearly enough in my opinion. I’d bet that the average schmuck in the street, in this largely Obama-supporting city, doesn’t know even the most significant of the events, such as the Battle of Brooklyn or British invasion of Manhattan.

Thanks for the ping. And in case you do not know about this location (apologies if you do), when I lived in the city (and I was in town for the July 4th weekend) I would always place flowers on the northwest corner of 63rd and 3rd (perhaps it's 64th?). Check out the bronze plaque on the building...near the spot where Nathan Hale was hung.
