Below is a link to an interesting discussion of the events of April 19, 1775 in Menotomy.  Several names are mentioned that might make for interesting DOM presentations with further research.

My father didn't serve in WWII.  It wasn't for lack of trying.  He attempted to enlist 3 separate times.  The last time the doctor said he was too short.  He responded that he signed up again because he said he saw a poster that was recruiting short men to be pilots.  The doctor said, "Short, yes.  But this is ridiculous."  In my book, he's still a hero.

Thanks for  sharing this.  Loved it.

That is a motto for you and me. All are not dead; and where there is a spark of patriotic fire, we will rekindle it." - Sam Adams
