Patriots Day

Patriots Day, celebrated mainly in Massachusetts but deserving of wider recognition, honors the men who fought and fell at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775.

Not to be confused with Patriot Day, created by Congress to recognize the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
