Additional Comments:
Stop and think what this man has seen, has done....................

At dawn on April 19, 1775 about 70 armed Massachusetts militiamen stand face to 
face on Lexington Green with the British advance guard. An unordered 'shot 
heard around the world' begins the American Revolution. A volley of British 
muskets followed by a charge with bayonets leaves eight Americans dead and ten 
wounded. The British regroup and head for the depot in Concord, destroying the 
colonists' weapons and supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, a British 
platoon is attacked by militiamen, with 14 casualties.
