*4th of July!*

[Lady Cop]

So commanders could keep track of troop movement on the battlefield.

unlike the rag-tag farmers who were our militiamen picking off the red targets. hahaha

i'll tell you, Boston is a great place to be on the 4^th, it's all here from the Old North Church to battle reenactments, and THE best fireworks anywhere at the Hatch Shell. all the church bells ring out and real cannons fire during the climax of 1812 Overture, it is SPECTACULAR! makes your heart race!
