Government Communications Group is located in the heart of Historic Lexington, Massachusetts, the Birthplace of the American Revolution. The Battle of Lexington marked the first military clash in the American Revolution. It was a brief skirmish that took place on April 19, 1775 between some 70 colonial minutemen commanded by Captain John Parker, and about 700 British soldiers. The American militia, warned of the British approach by the patriot Paul Revere and others, had assembled to halt the British. Inspired by the words of Captain Parker: "Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here," the Americans refused to disperse when ordered to do so by the commander of the British advance units. Gunfire was exchanged and eight Americans were killed. The Minuteman Statue on the Green was erected in 1900 to memorialize the Minutemen. The Revolutionary Monument, on the west side of the green was built in 1799 as the first monument to the Revolution. Bodies of Minutemen who died lie there. Want more information?
