Flag Steward - Honors and Awakens Our Flag to Inform and Inspire Patriotic Citizens
with today's 'Military Monday' memory honoring the victims of the Boston Massacre
On this 'Military Monday', we recall the Boston Massacre.
On March 5, 1770, heckling Colonial Bostonians surrounded a group of British soldiers guarding the Boston Customs House and slung snowballs at them. When one of the British soldiers were struck, they lost their cool and opened fire, firing their musket rifles, upon the Bostonian Colonials - killing 3 and injuring 8 of them. The British troops were there to protect the British subjects assigned by the King of England to enforce his unpopular tax laws on the Colonists. This uncalled for and sad event was popularly proclaimed by Sam Adams and Paul Revere, who engraved and publized this event to rally Colonists to revolt against the oppressive British rules.
And, today's quote providing #MondayMotivation ...
Recalls the reaction from Colonial citizens after hearing about the Boston Massacre.
