Starting a Revolution (video added)

While visiting Camps and Directors in the New England states, I found myself driving through Massachusetts towards Maine when something clicked in my mind about Lexington and Concord where the “shot was fired that was heard around the world.”  I did a quick maps check and found out I was only a short distance from the “start of the revolutionary war.”  Naturally I had to stop by and check out such an auspicious place in our country’s history.
I can’t say it was holy ground, like Israel might be, but it was patriotic ground for sure.  I truly felt something special, something heart warming and something deeply appreciative about standing on the battleground.

Below are few pictures and a brief video.  If you get a chance to visit Lexington MA.  please do so and let the land and the story give you an American perspective!
