No, not this Patriot's Day

Yes, this Patriots' Day...

Patriots Day in USA in 2023 | Office Holidays

...which commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which took place on April 19, 1775. The Revolutionary War for our independence was on.

Here's a nice short article from the Farmer's Almanac that 'splains the whole story and why we have the Boston Marathon on Patriots' Day. 

Farmer's Almanac Article 

So, today, in Massachusetts it's a holiday. It is not a Federal Holiday. Thus, State offices, Municipal offices, Public libraries, and Schools are closed. Everything else is business as usual.

So, while you're out showing and listing homes, take some time to reflect on the significance of this day in April 248 years ago. Please Pray for our nation. 

GOD BLESS AMERICA

I did not know about the connection between the Boston Marathon and Patriot's Day. You learn something new every day.

There is a lot to pray for when it comes to our nation Doug Dawes BUT a least we can still do that (in most cases) thanks to the Patriots of freedom who fought for those rights.

Doug- Larry watched the Boston Marathon this morning. Your post also reminds me that I need to "relearn" what I didn't learn about history.

Good Morning Kathy Streib It was a rainy and cool day yesterday which is better than hot for the runners. There is so much history we know but really don't because it runs deep and we are only taught the surface
