Shot Heard 'Round The World

238 years ago as the sun rose over Lexington, Massachusetts 700 British soldiers faced off against a small group of militia. No one knows who fired the first shot, but the British fired into the militia and charged with the bayonet. Eight Americans were killed. The British soldiers moved on to Concord. There a larger force of American militia stood their ground and turned the British soldiers back. The rest of the day turned into a running chase as the British soldiers were pushed back into Boston. That day, those courageous militiamen started something that would change the world for the better. Think on those brave men today as you enjoy the freedom that they and so many others have fought and died for.
