Notes on The Revolution and other events in American History worth celebrating.

Thanks for this link Kyle.

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. They were fought on April 19, 1775 in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.

The Boston Tea Party would be a good one to celebrate. "The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution."

The Day King James II abdicated in 1688. Wikipedia: "...on the 28th [of December] William accepted the responsibilities of government." "On February 13, 1689, Mary II and William III jointly acceded to the throne of England."

I've mentioned Constitution Day "It took effect on March 4, 1789 and has served as a model for the constitutions of numerous other nations."

Whoops, I need to make a change at the store.

The Bill of Rights should be mentioned. "These amendments came into effect on December 15, 1791, when ratified by three-fourths of the States."

VE Day - May 8.

I don't need to commemorate No Pants Day.
