Now, before you put on a a belt Buckle or a ten gallon hat I’m not talking about no rodeo!
I want to share a practice I have partaken for the last 30 years or so. It is a memorial of sorts. So every year whether I attend the reenactment or not on April 19th in Lexington, Massachusetts I have a routine I follow.
I recite the names and give an eight second moment of silence in memory of the eight brave colonists who had the will and courage to stand up to England yet paid the ultimate sacrifice for an idea they would never experience. I am connected but all Americans should know their names and the events of that day in 1775. I do!
Personally I like to thank them and pray for them and this is both an honor and a duty to me, so now their names:
Ensign Robert Monroe
Isaac Muzzy
Samuel Hadley
John Brown
Jonas Parker
Asabel Porter
Caleb Harrington
Jonathan Harrington
The remains of these eight Colonists are buried in a common grave beneath our Country’s oldest War memorial that sets on the Green and describes the events of that day. On behalf of my family from 1634 to the present I want to thank everyone for sharing this with me and taking the Time.
God Bless You All and God Please bless this Country at least one more time.
Michael Harrington (Deplorable Patriot)
