Listen my children and you shall hearOf the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
Take a moment and re-read this famous poem, preferably with a young person.

Thanks David.
My children just watched an animated short about Paul Revere's ride. This will be a great follow up.
I'll read it tonight!
Big day for us tomorrow! The Shot Heard "Round the World! Patriot's Day!
Be sure to fly your "Don't Tread on Me" flags!
I got my Gadsden flag.
I was pleased as punch when the kids saw the divided snake motif in the movie on the Revolution the famous join or die image and said "THAT'S OUR FLAG!"
What a proud poppa.
David,
I remember my mom reading this to me when I was a very young boy. Later on I read it for myself. Even today, it is very stirring to read.
You know, that was 232 years ago. We have a good history David. A history marked by honorable men in difficult circumstances.
