    I am not sure there is a “Patriots” holiday. No disrespect intended to the tragedy that happened, but being somewhere to run or watch a race does not make you a patriot.

      I agree. There was a lot of talk of it being ‘Patriot’s Day’, on the same (coincidence? I’m not sure) day as this year’s marathon in Boston. Thought I might be able to trip some people up – and I did here at work. Just a couple though!

    False is CORRECT! According to Wikipedia: It’s a civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. These were the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.
