Part of ongoing America250 celebration
The celebration kicks off on Friday, April 18 with the “Two Lights for Tomorrow” national event, remembering the code: “One if by land, two if by sea”. The commission and the American Legion are calling for two lights to be displayed in all public buildings, including state, county, and municipal buildings, schools, offices, churches, and individual homes. The lights are meant to honor and recall Paul Revere’s famous ride on April 18, 1775, which warned of the approaching British troops (“the Red Coats are coming”) prior to the battle of Lexington and Concord.
This “Two Lights for Tomorrow” event is meant create awareness of the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary and encouraging public programs, events and ceremonies.
The American Legion Post #22 will participate in the “Two Lights for Tomorrow” by displaying two lights in its front windows, and thus encourages every American to display two lights this Friday night, and to develop their own ideas for their own ways to celebrate our nation’s Semiquincentennial.
