1 he movie was a Dig nit. The theater was quiet as a tomb while the film was going on and at the final curtain, the kids burst into spontaneous applause.

Next on the itinerary was the Wax Museum where Indians attacked settlers, Boston patriots dumped tea into Boston harbor. Minute Men died at Lexington and Concord, Paul Revere carried the news that the British were coming, Washington crossed the Deleware and the Americans won their final victory—and independence—by defeating Cornwallis at Yorktown.

They’ll remember General Washington, praying in the snow to be worthy of the courage displayed by hir men.

If they’d played a few bars of “God Bless America,” I could have worked up a regular torrent of patriotic tears.
