Where I grew up, we celebrate Patriot Day.  Kids fly around in the cars shouting “The British are coming! The British are coming!” and go to parties.  I feel sorry for them.  Most of them don’t even realize that it is the midnight rides of Paul Revere and William Dawes they are reenacting.  Even fewer realize that those men road on horses instead of flew in cars.  And even fewer know the British were coming to fight, and not to enjoy the great American party scene.
