Hello cousins,
Fly the Bunker Hill flag on July 8th. Remember why?
If you don't own a BH flag, this short notice will give
you all day tomorrow to buy one.

In 1861, the 9th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry
was ordered to march on Bunker Hill, WV. General Patterson,
discovering the rebels were firmly entrenched, and with superior
forces, rescinded the order, thus averting a serious loss for the Union Army.
The "almost" 2nd Battle of Bunker Hill was another winner for the yankees,
even though no shots were fired this time.

On July 25th, 1973, there WAS another Battle of Bunker Hill.
Who can tell me what and where?
First one with the correct answer, receives an original copy of the
Bunker Hill march song, by Albert Von Tilzer; copyright MCMIV.
The 25th is another great day to fly our flag.
