\"BritishToday is Patriots’ Day, a Massachusetts state holiday that commemorates the start of the American Revolutionary War.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Boston Marathon is today and many other activities this weekend have reminded people that it is important to fight for what they believe in.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning April 19 starting at 5:15 am, I was one of tens of thousands of people who witnessed a reenactment the battle of Lexington on the town green.<\/p>\n

Here was the \u2018shot heard \u2018round the world\u2019 which historians say was the start of the American Revolution<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our location was ideal to see the battle reenactment unfold<\/a>. We were near Buckman Tavern<\/a>, where Paul Revere and William Dawes \u201cmidnight ride\u201d warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock about the British Regulars impending arrival.<\/p>\n

It was exciting to see the British Regulars in their red uniforms march down main street to confront the Colonials who were gathered on the green.<\/p>\n

Up and down the streets, people quietly protested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colonials fought 250 years ago against what they felt were unfair taxes. Today, Americans are doing the same, many protesting against tariffs, which are a form of taxation on consumers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, there is a great deal of polarization in America in 2025. And I am happy that citizens can still stand up for what they believe in.<\/p>\n
