Local DAR Chapter Commemorates 250 Years Since the Battle of Lexington and Concord

Last Wednesday, Lake Havasu City Mayor Cal Sheehy commemorated a significant moment in American history by presenting a proclamation to the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This event honors the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, a pivotal conflict in the American Revolution.

The proclamation highlights the courage and determination of the colonial militia in their stand against British forces on April 19, 1775. Mayor Sheehy emphasized the importance of preserving historical memory and the role organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution play in educating the public.

This milestone reflects the ongoing recognition of the sacrifices made for American independence, fostering a sense of community pride in Lake Havasu City. The ceremony served not only as a tribute but also as a reminder of the values of liberty and democracy that continue to resonate today.
