The Minuteman represents the citizen-soldiers who have faithfully served their state and nation. Minutemen have earned their place in United States' history by serving in all the wars our country has fought. They responded on short notice and are frequently identified with the battle against the British Regulars at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. This replica of a Minuteman, fondly called 'Howie', was made in 1973. 'Howie' is proudly displayed to symbolize the service and sacrifice of many generations of citizen-soldiers."
