Shortly before noon, the members and guests proceeded to the battle monument on the “Green” and attached thereto a large wreath, inscribed as follows:
THIS LAUREL WREATH
IS PLACED HERE BY THE
AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY
AS A TRIBUTE TO THE PATRIOTS,
Who at this place on
APRIL 19, 1775,
Bravely Gave Battle to the English Foe.
May the Example of the Men of Lexington be an Inspiration to the Friends of Liberty, Now and Forevermore.
Several of the members, later in the day, visited historic Concord, Mass.
