All Members & guests automatically entered to march!
Stay the weekend to enjoy all the local sights & then march as proud American Made Heroes in Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade!

Who are American Made Heroes? Why am I marching? The answer is simple. I am marching in honor of all those who innovate, manufacture and create product of tangible value right here in America but cannot attend the parade and march with us. I am marching for the owners of thousands of manufacturing businesses both large and small who work incredibly hard and who have made the often difficult decision to stay here in the USA and continue to manufacturer here even when so many business consultants have whispered in their ear at how much more money they could personally make by off-shoring those manufacturing jobs. Most have stayed because they feel a responsibility to their fellow citizens, friends and neighbors who walk into their manufacturing facilities each day hoping to make a decent living to support their families ... these honorable and heroic manufacturers have decided to stay here in the USA. I march for them! This is their moment & your moment for applause and honor. Come march with us. --  We are average Americans working towards doing the right thing by supporting America's American Made Heroes ... hoping others will too. From "The Cradle of Liberty" we speak out for our independence ... economic independence. Come stand with fellow citizens in calling for USA's economic independence & freedom!    March 17th, 1:00 PM  Faneuil Hall Speaker Series & Awards Presentations  Firebrand Samuel Adams rallied the citizens of Boston to the cause of independence from Great Britain in this hallowed Hall, and George Washington toasted the nation there on its first birthday. Through the years, Faneuil Hall has played host to many impassioned speakers, from Oliver Wendall Holmes and Susan B. Anthony to Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Mitt Romney always living up to its nickname, "The Cradle of Liberty." In 1742, Boston’s wealthiest merchant, Peter Faneuil, as a gift to the city, built Faneuil Hall. The edifice was home to merchants, fishermen, and meat and produce sellers, and provided a platform for the country's most famous orators. It is where colonists first protested the Sugar Act in 1764 and established the doctrine of "no taxation without representation."                         Tell America your story in this hall of heroes.          We will film your "American Made" message.      Speak about the real need to make things here. Alexander Hamilton "Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."    -- Alexander Hamilton ... an American Made Hero! After Faneuil Hall join us at famous Durgin Park in Quincy Market for drinks & a hardy dinner! Durgin Park has been serving working class America for over 185 years & carefully selected for just that symbolism. 100 feet from Faneuil Hall. Join us!

Samuel Adams was born to a wealthy and powerful family in Boston, Massachusetts. His father, (also named Samuel Adams), was an important landowner in the Boston area, and his second cousin John Adams would one day become the first vice president and second president of the United States. Unfortunately for old Samuel Adams, he would lose much of his wealth in a risky investment in paper currency, a form of currency outlawed in 1744 by the British government. Samuel Adams the younger had just earned his Master's Degree from Harvard College the previous year. The pair decided to go into business together opening up a brewery. When the elder Adams died in 1748, control of the brewery went entirely to Samuel Adams. He ran the brewery singly for over 20 years, but it failed in 1764. The brewery had never been particularly profitable, but he held on until finally he had to shut it down. His largely unsuccessful stint as a brewer would not go unremembered, however, and in 1985 would serve as the name of the highly popular Samuel Adams beer company Samuel Adams ... a brewer ... a patriot ... an  American Made Hero! In his over 50 years of public life Samuel Adams worked as a failed brewer, tax collector, Massachusetts legislator and vital rabble rouser for the cause of patriotism and freedom. Although forever linked with the brewery trade as the name of the popular beer brand, it is as a patriot that Sam Adams’ true legacy remains. One cannot even imagine what would have happened in those turbulent years of the colonial period without his violent passion for liberty and his explosive talent at oratory.

St. Patrick's is also Evacuation Day & George Washington's 1st victory! Siege of Boston 1776 March 17 is Evacuation Day! The holiday commemorates the evacuation of British forces from the city of Boston following the Siege of Boston, early in the American Revolutionary War. It is the same day as Saint Patrick's Day, a coincidence that played a role in the establishment of the holiday. The colonial victory occured in the area of South Boston known as Dorchester Heights which commands a view of both Boston Harbor and downtown. Dorchester Heights was and is remembered in American history for an action in the American Revolutionary War known as the Fortification of Dorchester Heights. After the battles of Lexington and Concord, Revolutionary sentiment within New England reached a new high, and thousands of militiamen from the Northern colonies converged on Boston, pushing the British back within what where then relatively narrow city limits. In June 1775 British soldiers under General William Howe attacked and seized Bunker Hill, but in the process sustained many losses. Following this encounter, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia gave George Washington the title of commander-in-chief and sent him to oversee the Siege of Boston. The stalemate in Boston lasted for months, only breaking when Colonel Henry Knox returned from Fort Ticonderoga in New York, having led a team of sleds loaded with tens of thousands of pounds of artillery (cannon) in winter from the fort across hundreds of miles to Boston. This added artillery gave Washington the firepower needed to make a decisive move. On the night of March 4, 1776, as 800 American soldiers stood guard along the river of Dorchester shores, 1,200 American soldiers occupied Dorchester Heights. They began working through the night to build structures suitable to defend against the British Army. A large portion of the artillery, pulled by oxen, was moved and installed, without being noticed by the British, at Dorchester Heights, a point of strategic importance due to its elevation and commanding view of all of Boston and Boston Harbor. In response, Howe planned a counteroffensive to take the fortified positions on the Heights, but bad weather forced him to reconsider. The Royal Navy evacuated the British Army from Boston on March 17, 1776, along with many Loyalists.
