This is Frisco's favorite holiday of the year. You can see by the tattoo on his leg that he takes it very serious.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO EVERYONE.

We'll see you in April.

Its also Evacuation Day here in MA. On March 17, 1776 the 11-month siege of Boston ended when the Continental Army, under Washington, fortified Dorchester Heights with cannons captured at Ticonderoga, forcing General Howe's garrison to attack or flee. To prevent what could have been a slaughter of his troops, Howe agreed to retreat to Nova Scotia via his ships without setting the city on fire as he left. The best part is that there was barely enough powder for more than 2 or 3 shots per cannon so it would've been a damn short artillery barrage. Fortunately, Howe wasn't aware of that and left in quiet ignomany.

17 March 1942 General MacArthur flies to Darwin Australia
Having left the Philippines after the Japanese invasion, General MacArthur was appointed to command the newly created South West Pacific Area. Australia became the base from which he would launch offensive action against the Japanese in the Pacific.

St. Patricks Day:
 
A day when everyone tries to become green by drinking too much beer.
Happy Saint Patricks Day.

St. Patricks Day, 2000. The doctor walked up to me after having Joanne under the knife for five hours, three and a half hours longer than expected, stuck his finger into my face and said, "She's cancer free."
