Such a fine way to say it, Elaine. It's difficult to explain that feeling to someone who doesn't care about history, but for those of us who revere and study history, no explanation is necessary. Thank you for all the links too. I've never seen "April Morning." Will pursue it.Susan Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922171469364860239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-86887591218527816432013-04-11T03:19:26.195-04:002013-04-11T03:19:26.195-04:00Thank you Elaine for keeping all of us up-to-date ...Thank you Elaine for keeping all of us up-to-date on our history.

Yes, they need to be front and center and we need to pray for our country. So happy you have a calendar to help you visualize the events of April 19, 1775. It is breathtaking and humbling.Elaine Marie Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433520113422863255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-25680005623238147222013-04-10T16:03:16.020-04:002013-04-10T16:03:16.020-04:00A beautiful and relevant post, Elaine!

It's a keeper! <br /><br />Just had a discussion awhile ago with a college-age person who is enamored with socialism and finds information like this (because of the "ideals"), to be unrealistic Pat Iacuzzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983141590663751303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-31609045266491953912013-04-10T14:54:32.844-04:002013-04-10T14:54:32.844-04:00Amen, Janet.

It also reminds me of the ongoing need to pray that we have the perseverance and courage to continue the fight not to lose our freedoms that have been paid for by so many.Janet Grunsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635290708361600803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-56431000396838990362013-04-10T05:44:06.123-04:002013-04-10T05:44:06.123-04:00Thanks for sharing the history of the holiday and ...Thanks for sharing the history of the holiday and filling in some of the gaps in what I knew. I hear of Patriot's Day around "tax day" because it occasionally gives New Yorker's an extra day to get their income taxes in the mail (which fly off to MA.) Hooray for the reenactors!<br />Debra E.
