The USS Cassin Young is a Fletcher-class destroyer that was commissioned in 1943 and served in World War II and the Korean War. The ship was decommissioned in 1960 and is now a museum ship located in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

The USS Cassin Young Volunteers is a group of dedicated individuals who work to preserve and promote the history of the ship. The volunteers come from all walks of life, including veterans, historians, and maritime enthusiasts. They give their time and knowledge to help maintain and operate the ship, as well as educate visitors about its role in U.S. naval history.

The volunteers are responsible for the ongoing restoration and maintenance of the USS Cassin Young, including cleaning and painting the ship, repairing equipment, and preserving artifacts. They also serve as tour guides and educators, offering guided tours of the ship and sharing stories about its history and the sailors who served aboard it.

In addition to their work on the ship, the USS Cassin Young Volunteers also participate in community events and outreach programs to promote the importance of preserving our nation's naval history. Thanks to their efforts, the USS Cassin Young remains a vital piece of our nation's heritage and a living tribute to the brave men and women who served on it.

Aftermath - Battle of Lexington - Shot heard Round the World Annual Patriot's Day event in Lexington, MA.
At dawn on April 19, 1775 some 700 British troops arrived in Lexington and came upon 77 militiamen gathered on the town green. A British major yelled, “Throw down your arms! Ye villains, ye rebels.”

The heavily outnumbered militiamen had just been ordered by their commander to disperse when a shot rang out. To this day, no one knows which side fired first. Several British volleys were subsequently unleashed before order could be restored. When the smoke cleared, eight militiamen lay dead and nine were wounded, while only one Redcoat was injured.
