John Parker (July 13, 1729 – September 17, 1775) was an American colonial farmer, mechanic and soldier who commanded the Lexington militia at the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. He knew when it was time to defend his country, his family and his way of life! I wonder how many like him are left this day? Back then, the enemy was easy to spot on the open field. The foe, we face today, hides like a cockroach and fears the light of day. And, while the fight for this Republic will be hard and long, it is a fight this new militia is willing to undertake. God Bless those who will fight against this evil darkness that even now steals across our borders...
