Memorial Day Weekend (Lexington & Concord, 1775) 🇺🇸

from History of North America · host History of North America

Dedicated to American military personnel who died in any war, the Memorial Day holiday pays special tribute to the local militiamen who gave their lives in the opening shots of the Revolution during the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April, 1775 — with unique honor bestowed on the Revolutionary War dead as the foundational heroes of American independence. The American Revolution (1765–1783) was a political conflict involving the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and the independence of the colonies as the United States.
