Massachusetts, Mora Haley, called on the Americans to continue the struggle for freedom as she spoke on the anniversary of the battle of Concorde and the beginning of the revolutionary war on Saturday, saying that “our freedoms are being attacked again.”
Healy was one of the speakers at the ceremony held at Old North Bridge, the Battle of Concorde 250 years ago. Earlier this morning, a dawn was greeting, where the attributes and defender were launched. The Saturday party participated in the middle of the road processionOn the occasion of 250 years since the battle.
Concorde’s battle was briefly re -legislation after the Lexington Battle in the morning. After the British clashed with the Minutemen in Lexington 250 years ago, they went to Concorde, where they were aiming to seize the supplies of the colonial ammunition.
Among the prominent figures at the ceremony were Haley, MP Lori Tarhan and the British Consul General of the New England David Clay
“In Massachusetts, we have always lit the lighthouse.”
“In Massachusetts, we have always lit the lighthouse. We have always answered the alarm. We have always stood on our land and we will always do,” Healy said. “Now is the time to honor this legacy and fulfill it. We live in a moment when our freedoms are being attacked again, including from the highest position on the ground. We see things that would be familiar to our revolutionary ancestors: silence critics, the disappearance of people from our streets, and demands not to conditions.”
Tarshaan repeated the feelings of Healy, who said that the founders know that the threat of democracy will not come from another country.
Tarhan: In America, no one stands above the law
“What started here in Concord has become a shot” around the world “. It was more than the beginning of the war, it was the beginning of an idea, that freedom deserves to be defended, that the government derives its just powers from the approval of the governments. “Even our founders knew that the biggest threat to this fragile experience will not come from the outside, it would come from the inside … in America, no one, no one, regardless of the extent of the height, the wealthy or the extent of strength, above the law.”
