On the ground, fighting in the American Revolution began with the skirmishes between British regulars and American provincials on April 19, 1775, first at Lexington, where a British force of 700 faced 77 local minutemen, and then at Concord, where an American counterforce of 320 to 400 sent the British scurrying.

This date should be a national holiday. We can celebrate it by having a federal order blocking all flights to and from British held territories, for 24 hours as a sign of remembrance for our fallen.
Happy Anniversary Patriots, here's to the second American Revolution!
God speed!
Well worth it's own post...and THANK YOU!
