Patriots' Day

Patriots' Day is a civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.
It is observed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and state of Maine (once part of Massachusetts), and is a public school observance day in Wisconsin. Observances and re-enactments of these first battles of the American Revolution occur annually at Lexington Green in Lexington, Massachusetts, (around 6am) and The Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts (around 9am).
In the morning, a mounted reenactor with State Police escort retraces Paul Revere's ride, calling out warnings the whole way.



Gotta love the Pats.

And in the current state of sports in the US, the Americans finishing 3rd are a ticker item while the preview for this weekend's NFL draft is the front page for ESPN.com.
