Patriots' Day, a holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, is observed in Massachusetts and Maine on the third Monday in April.
They who can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
- Edward Everett
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
- Edward Abbey
Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
- written on the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor
