“On the eighteenth of April in ‘seventy-five
Hardly a man in now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year
Or the midnight ride of Paul Revere …”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The nearest Monday to April 18 is the “Patriots’ Day” holiday in Massachusetts. The Boston Marathon is run on that day.
More recently, September 11 has been named “Patriot Day” nationwide.
Hence the confusion above.
