"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."

When you think about the bolded part, then think about the likes of Maxine Waters or Eric Swalwell as those who deem themselves to be the ones to govern.....yeah, I'm with Levi Preston on this.

I took this image on a blisteringly cold February day several years ago on my way to work:

And this one, on a nice summer day:

Truer words were never spoken!

The Concord Museum is only a short distance from me, and when I went in there last year, I saw this:

I was one of the actual lanterns which was used on that night of April 18th, 1775 to communicate to Patriots in Charlestown whether the British were going to march over the thin strip of land out of Boston, or row across the water to Charlestown to begin their campaign. (The lanterns were a "backup" communication in case Paul Revere and William Hawes were held up or arrested leaving Boston, IIRC)

When I saw that lamp, the feeling of real history flooded into me, as if the act of visualizing the real lamp used made a connection back to that time and validated that it really did happen!

Thanks for noting the importance of April 19 for America, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Side note: one of the commenters at Breitbart seems disturbed at the thought of the significance of Lexington and Concord. You might even say it “glows”.

Sadly that state today has horrendous gun laws in violation of the 2nd Amendment.
