🛣️ Road to Liberty: The Path to Freedom 250

April 18, 1775 | Paul Revere’s Ride

When British troops planned a surprise attack, Paul Revere, a Boston silversmith and committed patriot who was a member of The Sons of Liberty, rode more than twelve miles through the night to warn colonial fighters.

His warning helped local militias prepare - turning secrecy into resistance. While several riders played roles that night, Paul Revere’s swift warning and legendary ride became a symbol of American resistance and helped spark the first battles of the Revolutionary War.

Congratulations on the Artemis II Mission! 🚀🌕

10 days, 685,000 miles, and a journey that carries American excellence and humanity’s dreams around the Moon, led by four courageous astronauts and NASA’s visionary team.
