The Gravesite Of American Revolution Patriot Henry Reeves In Maurice River Township, New Jersey

Today, July 03, 2026, for this American Revolution 250th Anniversary July 04 Weekend, I drove to the Maurice River Friends Quaker Burial Grounds in Maurice River Township, New Jersey.  While there, I visited the grave of Henry Reeves.  Henry Reeves was not a Soldier.  He did sign an oath of faith and allegiance to his state in opposition to the King of Great Britain.  Due to this, he is considered a Patriot of The American Revolution.  In addition to the battlefield, the homefront was very important to the war effort.  For this Revolutionary War Semiquincentennial weekend, I found it necessary to honor those who were committed to the cause of independence.  I wore multiple layers of clothing in my 1700s style attire.  What was the temperature and real feel today?  102 degrees?  105 degrees?  107 degrees?

The 250th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Turtle Gut Inlet In Wildwood Crest, NJ On June 29, 2026

The Revolutionary War Semiquincentennial continues.  Today is the 250th Anniversary of The Battle Of Turtle Gut Inlet in, what is now, Wildwood Crest in New Jersey.  The naval battle, the only Revolutionary War skirmish in Cape May County, took place on June 29, 1776.   It was the first privateer battle of The American Revolution.  Richard Wickes was The Continental Navy's only casualty on that day and the first casualty in New Jersey.  The Brits to lost thirty to forty of their personnel.  A trick was pulled off with success.  A fuse was lit within the ship called Brigantine Nancy by the Continental Navy, and then the Americans departed the vessel.  The Brits, thinking that they captured a valuable vessel and supplies, discovered the ruse too late.  I used multiple maps from four different centuries to ascertain the location of Turtle Gut Inlet and, thus, the location of the battle.

Yesterday, Wildwood Crest hosted a reenactment of the naval battle with a funeral of Richard Wickes.

Freedom For Iran Demonstrations In Washington, DC On March 07, 2026

I am finally uploading content from the two Freedom For Iran Demonstrations in Washington, DC held on March 07, 2026 uploaded.  Both were quite lively.  The Donald Trump quote "Is DEAD" was turned into a song and played frequently.  I wore the colors: green, white and red.  Some little children took notice of my sign with the Playskool Glo Worm.  One went to grab it.  Hilarious.  After the Free Iran demonstrations, I walked into a left-wing pro-mullah demonstration.  I posted videos of both below.
