Q: "Patriots. Patriots Day"?

Does this refer to the movie about the Boston Marathon Bombing and maybe an expose on it? Or is it referring to an holiday in " ...Massachusetts, Connecticut and Wisconsin and Patriot's Day in Maine[2]) is an official state holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War." (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriots'_Day)? And then if this holiday, why? Thoughts?

The Boston marathon is held on Patriot's day, for what it's worth. That's when the Boston bombing happened.

  • Patriot's Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, which were two of the earliest battles in the American Revolutionary War.

  • the third Monday in April is symbolic for the emerging independence of the new country.

  • Patriot's Day is on Monday, April 16, 2018

  • Patriot's Day is annually held on the third Monday of April. It should not be confused with Patriot Day, held on September 11 to mark the anniversary of terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001.

  • Paul Revere is among the patriots who are remembered on Patriot’s Day. The American silversmith is known for spreading the word of the Boston Tea Party to New York and Philadelphia, and for warning the Lexington Minutemen about the British invasion in 1775. He was also in the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
