Dear Compatriots of the Connecticut Line CTSSAR,
Today the CONNECTICUT LINE participated in the annual Bunker Hill Day Ceremonies commemorating the 233rd Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, First Major Battle of the American Revolution (June 17, 1775).
This was our 12th year participating in the Bunker Hill Day Ceremonies, and again this year, we were the largest Colonial unit present. HUZZAH!!!
The Connecticut Line CTSSAR, along with the Charlestown Militia Company, fired the musket volley to the Heroes of Bunker Hill. We also placed a wreath at the Connecticut Gate on behalf of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
Following the ceremonies, we walked into Boston and had lunch at the Green Dragon Taverne.
Attached are 2 photos, one from the ceremonies, the other from the Green Dragon. Note: we found a new recruit at the Dragon.
Our next event will be at the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse in New London on Saturday.
Put your faith in God and keep your powder dry,
Todd Gerlander
Colonel Commanding
