Here is the 'Panorama camera view'  available of Captain John Parker Statue, Lexington, MA for your information that you might enjoy.
It is interesting how timeless the statue remains in the context of modern surroundings that have been continually changing.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

Thanks for posting, CM.

I wonder how many folks walk or drive by that statue every day and know nothing about the history we tell at ASs.

Funny you should say that, TruT. My wife and I lived a few towns over in Winchester when we were first married, and I remember driving by the statue and not thinking much of it. This was back in the mid-90s, before my awakening. Such a wasted time - now I have to drive 3 hours to get to Battle Road rather than 20 minutes.

But, I will say that anyone who doesn't notice the statue while driving can be forgiven at certain times during the day. Letting your attention wander while negotiating that area is taking your life in your own hands. Remember - in Massachusetts, turn signals are a sign of weakness.

I thought Bostonians considered using their turn signals to be "giving aid and comfort to the enemy".


I used to drive right through Merriam's Corner every day for 3 years and never knew what happened there. Heck, I didn't even realize why Rt 2A was called Battle Road until I saw a reenactor walking down the road one April morning...
Unhappy it is ... to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast, and that the once happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?
