The Spectacle Blog
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
— Emerson

And what shall we do to honor and respect what they did for us?
BTW is it not rood as in wooden?

Be certain your school's books carry the stories as we heard them. Go and ask to see them. You bought them.
Love of Freedom is the quest our immigrants seek from all over the world.

Homeschool your kids. My kids, at age 8, are reading about the Nicene creed.

The last stanza from the Ft Benning Infantry School epic poem " I Am the Infantry:
"Where brave men fight…there fight I. In freedom's cause…I live, I die. From Concord Bridge to Heartbreak Ridge, from the Arctic to the Mekong, to the Caribbean and on to the desert sands…the Queen of Battle! Always ready…then, now, and forever."
"I am the Infantry! FOLLOW ME!"
