Patriot's Day - USA

19 April
Patriot's Day
I'm going to tell you about Patriot's Day in the USA. It is celebrated on April 19 in Massuchetts and Maine. That day two men, Paul Revere and William Dawes rode on horseback from Boston to Lexington to warn everyone that the British were coming. That marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. People today celebrate Patriot's Day by having reanactments of the battles and by having parades.
