SCOTT #619 MINUTE MAN 5 CENT

     Early one April morning in 1775, 50 ragged "minutemen" faced 1,000 red-coated British soldiers across the bridge at Lexington--a shot was fired. "The shot heard round the world".
     The "Minute Man" statue at Concord, is pictured on the five-cent stamp in tribute to those  colonists who were the first Americans to die in battle in the defense of freedom.
