Onbei a farm -And o hazar Joyce B Unrest stirred the niral coun tryside. Where farmers gathered for business and local gossip, the unrest stirred and simmered through ongoing discussion and debate. Bought goods were costly. Lux uries were almost completely out of reach for much of the rural populace. Then, the despised possibility of a tax on tea became reality. Under force of the hated tax, the weakening political dam, holding back the churning forces of frustration and rebellion, finally cracked, and then split completely apart. Angry farmers, hastily organ ized into a mere resemblance of military militia, but armed with the passion for freedom, fired those first shots that would forever alter history’s course. For freedom.

Among my childhood memo ries are vivid recollections of clus ters of folks, heads bowed, bear ing bouquets of spring flowers, gathered in the cemetery of the nearby, small town where we attended church. Large flags flut tered in the late May breeze, while old soldiers stood at attention in uniforms that had seen them through less quiet moments. Peonies, red and white, almost always bloomed for Memorial Day, along with old-fashioned “blue flags,” or iris. They pro vided bouquets in the traditional patriotic colors for graves of loved ones. “Decoration Day,” my mother called it, a term rarely heard any longer for this poignant holiday. And small American flags marked the resting places of those who had made the ultimate sacrifice. For freedom.
