Bunker Hill Day Parade

CHARLESTOWN - JUNE 17: Aydan Hazeldine, 5, of North Attleboro, MA, peeks out from behind his grandfather who attended the Bunker Hill Day memorial ceremonies. Hazeldine's forefather (7th great grandfather) fought in the battle of Bunker Hill. Many gathered at the Bunker Hill Memorial in Charlestown, MA on Thursday morning, June 17, 2010 to celebrate the 235th anniversary of the Battle at Bunker Hill. The first Bunker Hill Day was celebrated in 1825 under the auspices of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, among whose founding members were New England bluebloods, like Daniel Webster, Edward Everett and descendants of Dr. Joseph Warren. The Association's mission was to secure funding for a suitable monument to be erected on the battlefield. (Photo by Dina Rudick/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
