Album: April 19th 2014

Minute Man National Historical Park

This year April 19th was marked in a very special way. At our annual Dawn Salute Ceremony at North Bridge we were joined by Captain David Brown's Company of Minute Men. This group specializes in highly researched, expertly re-produced period impressions. After Dawn Salute they conducted interpretive programs and drill demonstrations for the public. We also began a new tradition. We were honored by the presence of hundreds of military personnel taking part in the "Tough Ruck," a marathon-length march with full pack done in memory of America's fallen soldiers. They began their march at North Bridge and then marched through Concord and then back and forth on Minute Man NHP's Battle Road Trail.
