Alternative facts - Battle of Bunker Hill Parade



I know its going to be fun... but its so hot and I just want it to start!



A tradition since 1786, the Bunker Hill Day Parade on June 10, commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill which was fought on Breed's Hill on June 17, 1775 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first major battle of the American Revolution.  

It feels kind of weird to have a carnival about something where over a thousand people died.  I look over at the hill from our lovely apartment and wonder what they would think if they came back today.

Sombre thought I know.




Some lovely characters, great bands,  Go the Italians, Scottish, Brits et al.
