Patriots’ Day
April 16, 2008
Hey, hey, Patriots’ Day is coming up on April 19, “in observance of the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.”
That’s for us folks born in Taxachusetts or Maine, and I was born in one and have lived in both. A-yuh.
But I read that since 1969, the goofballs have neutered the holiday by shifting it to the 3rd Monday in April. How bland.
I still celebrate the 19th. Will the French change Bastille Day?
