As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter...........
My children not every one is blessed to see the end of the Revolution. Not everyone is blessed to see victory in World Wars. For all the statistics of dead, it is not just one but millions who never are blessed to see the prize and what they have laid down their life for........for a mob of ungrateful ingrates, who hide in their homes yet and dine upon the carcase of the butchered American Virgin.
In the War of the Revolution, there were those who never made it past the first battle. They were not evil men, but colonials fighting to be Americans. One such man was Joseph Warren of Massachusetts. He was a learned man, a graduate of Harvard when Harvard was a place in which the clergy of Christ maintained the board of that school in absolute majority.
Citizen Warren soon enough took up practice as a physician, and some of his patients were the family of John Adams.
Mr. Warren was a man for liberty and one of the first rebels in the cause for freedom. The British knew who he was, and informed him in front of the scaffold that his neck would one day be in one of those nooses. Warren demanded to know which red coat had so threatened him, but the British turned without comment.
When Lexington came, Joseph Warren, the doctor, the husband, the father of four, mounted his horse and rode to the battle. There he was sometimes Soldier, sometimes Physician and sometimes Cheerleader in rallying the Minute Men. It was a battle where a clip pin over his ear was shot away by a British ball. It was a battle in which Americans were wounded and killed.
In time, he requested and was granted a commission to the Army of Massachusetts as Major General, and it was there at Bunker Hill that Joseph Warren would lead in the battle to secure American freedom and liberty.
Joseph Warren fought that day with his men. He was one of the last to leave the redoubt, and as the British came up, a red coat officer recognized Major General Warren, and seized a musket from a soldier, took aim and put a ball into the back of the head of Joseph Warren, in a most heinous act of murder.
Warren seized the back of his head by instinct in his hand, and fell to the ground dead.
The British would rifle the body and find upon it a book of Psalms. Congress would adopt his oldest son. Benedict Arnold would donate 500 dollars for the Warren children.
Oddly, except for General Washington, none of the heroes of the military of Revolution, ever became President. For that matter, except for George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, none of the Founders rose to the White House either.
They were special men who pledged their lives and their fortunes for America, and most had that pledge collected to the extreme. Major General Joseph Warren in a nation of Sam Adams and John Hancocks of Massachusetts, would have risen, for he rose early, and only God knows why his sacrafice was so full, as he certainly would have been Governor or perhaps President.
It was what it was though, and it is that Joseph Warren has earned place to be remembered for all he had taken from him for America. There are too many who are not remembered by a sloven race of inmates who besmerch the dignified title of American.
Major General Joseph Warren, assassinated by the British at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
I remember.
