POF-USA's Frank DeSomma pays homage to those patriots who stood bravely in defiance against tyranny and sheds light on the history behind the first shot in what would become the beginning of the war for American independence. The phrase the shot heard around the world comes from the opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord Hymn (1837) and refers to the first shot of the American Revolution at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, where the first British soldiers fell in the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

After the Battles of Lexington and Concord
April 19, 1775: About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk, and had moved most of them to other locations. They also received details about British plans on the night before the battle, and were able to rapidly notify the area militias of the military movement. The first shots were fired at Lexington.

Capt. Parker Statue and Battle Green, Lexington, MA
Captain john Parker (1729-1775) was an experienced militia leader, having served in the French and Indian War. Because Lexington had not formed a Minute Company as part of its town militia, he was not a Minuteman, though his actions on April 19, 1775 are worthy of one. Although he was in the beginning stages of TB, he quickly mustered his men after hearing what was then known as the Lexington Alarm and attempted to keep them orderly until a random shot ignited the battle. He saw his cousin Jonas Parker run through with a british bayonet.
Parker participated with his militia at the 1775 Siege of Boston but was too ill to serve at Bunker Hill. He lost his battle with TB in Sept. 1775.
Another monument commemorates the pastors of the Lexington Meeting House, among them John Hancock, grandfather of the patriot and Jonas Clarke, with whom the younger Hancock and Samuel Adams were staying on the night on April 18-19, 1775, when Revere found them.
