On that day, April 19, 1775, the struggle of a bunch of farmers, tradesmen, hunters, and fur traders against the most powerful country on earth began. That day, that battle, started a struggle of an oppressed people that ended with the first Constitutional Republic the world had ever seen. A divinely inspired governmental system that had never before previously existed on earth. A system of government formed by “we the people”, limiting government, and declaring rights come from God…and that government existed to protect and defend those rights. It would be another 8 years before Americans won their freedom, liberties, and rights away from the tyranny of the British Empire and their King…having defeated the most powerful military in the world.
It was worth it and I am so appreciative of that day and the sacrifices made by all that fought tyranny in the quest for freedom, for rights, for liberty. To all those folks who would stand against a dictator and who would fight against a King and his oppression of a free people…thank you for that day. The best day ever in the politics of America…the day we stood up.
Please pray for our country. Pray for divine intervention. Pray for softened hearts. Pray for peace. Pray that one day we could find the courage and strength to return the United States to the Constitution and the principles that made us great…and free.

A.H. Trimble - Emergency preparedness information for disasters and grid-down 
I was able to visit Lexington and Concord last year, just barely missing the April 19th activities with a march going back from Concord thru Lexington as the Minutemen pursued the British forces back to Boston. But we did see some reenactments and visited the bridge site (the original long ago replaced). It was exciting to feel the lay of the land and what had taken place there. I visited the grave sites of some of my ancestors buried in the graveyard behind a church just off of the green.
I was pleased to discover that a number of my ancestors had fought (with some dying) in the Revolutionary War and paid my respects to them as well as we traveled through New England.
I do pray that we, as a people, pause to consider just how momentous this event that led to our Independence was. As John Adams noted: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” I do agree with your points to pray for so many reasons for the survival of our country, the most important of which, as your note: “Pray that one day we could find the courage and strength to return the United States to the Constitution and the principles that made us great…and free.”
I fear for those who may well lose those gifts of our liberty and freedom. By not comprehending and honoring these gifts given in blood, those people will never realize what they have lost because they never understood what they had.
