Patriots Day. Marking April 19, 1775. When Americans took up arms against their king, and bled, at the crack of terrible dawn.
It's a holiday in Massachusetts and Maine, which was then part of Massachusetts. Should be a national holiday.
July 4 marks the day they published a piece of paper, telling the king to shove it. Important. Up until then it was a civil war. Americans who considered themselves Englishmen fighting British troops. After that, it was Americans fighting the British for their independence.
Patriots Day is first blood.

Also the day the ATF SLAUGHTERED 88 innocents in Waco, TX.
I believe we would all do well to remember April 19/1993.
Waco and all the citizens murdered that day by the federal govt.,....just saying.
Sadly, it has lost all meaning in the south. The Yankees have tried to suppress the rebellious nature of the American Spirit, with some success. Now people are rebellious with no understanding as to why or what for.
