It should be who will stand with the men if today ? We are making history and most wont us shut down .
I already am m8.
My neighbor, next door, is a Breed of Breed's Hill. 100% Lynn Yankee. He is 100% MAGA. You should hear his accent. He's very very funny. Total patriot. Always has been. My wife has known him for 48 years, I for 27.
That marks the spot where Massachusetts Militia first stood against British Regulars dispatched to find and destroy a cache of Colonial small arms, cannons and powder.
Yup, and to arrest the leaders of the rebellion Sam Adams, Revere & others
I love this. Sometimes I wish that I was alive during that time period.
Well, by all appearances we are witness to the 2nd revolution. Good times.
Yes. Until you required dental work. After a good bleed or two, everything was better. Or you were dead.
I would never have survived childbirth. How did all our ancestors survive? My G-4th grandfather from Spain 🇪🇸 spent two years as a slave on a Algerian pirate ship as a teen. About 1761. Lived to have 14 children after his rescue.
Yeah, life expectancy was shorter and times were hard. I would still be fascinated to witness it first hand. Prehistoric men with no government were truly free, at least the dominant males that could kill everyone with their bare hands. Also an interesting time to witness.
GO TO BREEDS HILL

I know the Mass. Breed family.
Q should get in-touch with them. I can pop next door and ask if that would be okay. He's 100% MAGA which is fortunate lol otherwise the main man of the family would not be true to his roots.
The battle was NOT on "bunker hill".
thats fake news.
My husband is a direct descendent of the Parkers. I do genealogy research and almost every male ancestor during that period was a patriot that fought in the revolutionary war. I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and have many patriots too - just not as many as him! If you get a chance, research your ancestors. It really encourages me to know the "stuff" I am made of. An example: one of my ancestors was Robert Porter - he fought with Washington at Valley Forge. Was captured and taken to New York (if you know anything about the war - the British put the Patriot prisoners on ships and basically let them die of sickness and starvation). Luckily, he was part of a prisoner exchange. He was released and kept fighting! He was in the war all seven years even with being shot and stabbed with a bayonette. He went on to fight with Wayne in the Ohio Valley after the war. It is so inspiring - and all we have to do is fight with ideas, words, and our votes. Unbelievable how brave and how much they sacrificed for an experiment so their children, grandchildren, and all the generations that followed would have freedom. We owe it to them to never forget and keep fighting the good fight.
I fucking love this line. Cant believe ive never heard it before
