On The Green

Of course, my kids and I recalled what happened in Massachusetts April 19, 1775. They are a source of pride and inspiration to me. Whatsmore, they spread the word about Freedom.

They both stand up and out in their classes as they calmly yet passionately relay the facts concerning our Republic. My son, particularly has withstood ridicule from socialist dweeb classmates. He looks them in the eye and proceeds to dismantle their ever so predictable rhetoric.

These kids realize what happened 234 years ago. Whatever they do in life, they intend to hold up their end now and in the future.

I know there was a meeting on the Green at Lexington. I heard that people renewed their Oaths to protect and defend the Constitution and that some took an Oath as civilians to do the same.

An Oath is a solemn thing. It is not to be taken lightly. I have taken two (neither military nor police), and neither contradicts nor supercedes fighting for Restoration of this Republic.

My kids have yet to take any Oaths. But they know the reason for them. They are prepared to stand as before and for what comes.

My son will take an Oath as a Marine officer one day though. He plans to be a pilot and aerospace engineer. My daughter wants to be a singer and teacher. Each will do their duty as Americans, whether an Oath is taken or not. As Americans, we have a duty to follow the example of the men who stood on the Green.

Protecting and defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and demestic is written on my heart. I am willing to publicly join with my sworn brothers and sisters and take that Oath before God and all who see.

"What a glorious morning this is!"

Samuel Adams to John Hancock at Lexington 1775

Indeed, each morning is glorious when we strive to restore this Constitutional Republic. Glorious to stand up to tyranny up to and including what those ancestors of us all did that day.

Til that day comes again, continue as I have suggested, to win as many hearts and minds as you can.

Our enemies are hoping Freedom will die out with many of us today. It is incumbent upon us to teach our kids well.

We will beat our enemies. So will our kids and theirs too.

I leave you with these words:

"But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution."

--John Adams, letter to H. Niles, 13 February 1818

True then. True now.
