Battle of Bunker (sic, really Breed's) Hill this date.  Lost Pickering and Dr. Warren, among others.

"Aim for a high mark and you will hit it.  No, not the first time, nor the second, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting,
for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."
-Annie Oakley Butler

Another anniversary indeed...

Dr Warren was lost that day, but not Timothy Pickering.   He lived until 1829 after serving a Quartermaster, Sec of War, Sec of State and recommending the founding of the US Military Academy at West Point.

The British Major Pitcairn was killed with a head shot by Peter Salem, a black American patriot (some sources report a chest shot).
