Tough to get a steady shot. Had to hold the camera way above my head to clear the people in front of me. 2008 Patriots Day, early morning (6:00am) Battle Green Re-enactman.

Thanks for posting this. I checked this out a few years ago and its well worth showing up in Lexington at 4:00 A.M. ;)

You're welcome. Thank you. I agree!

I'm interested to know why you put the victory salute of the British in the beginning... Trying to rewrite history are we?

[georush96]

You mean the section at 2:30?

[JewJAK]

Yes, the you cut it into the beginning makes it look like the British had an ordered volley which began the war which is quite the contrary to what actually happened

[georush96]

You are correct. Bad editing on my part. Thanks for your input.

I look forward to Patriots day this year. Although my convictions in ths era are elsewhere. But I love seeing that reenacment is still being done today.

Great video, thanks. Check out the OathKeepers who retook their oaths to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, on Lexington Green on April 19, 2009.
