Today the CMM put on a program commemorating the events of April 19, 1775 at Lexington, Concord and Menotomy, and of April 20-21, 1775 at Williamsburg at Culpeper Masonic Cemetery. Sixteen SAR, DAR, C.A.R. members and prospective members participated. Tom Hamill was our Master of Ceremonies and the keynote address, focusing on the view of these events from Virginia, was given by Bill Schwetke. The location allowed us to point out the graves of Edward Stevens who led the Culpeper Independent Company in response to the events at Williamsburg and David Jameson who carried the battle flag of the Independent Company. The Colors were presented by coordinated color guards from VFW Post 2524 and the SAR. The SAR Color Guard also fired a musket salute.
