The Battle of Yorktown, Virginia, ended in 1781, but we kept the drums! Did you know that fifes and drums were essential for battlefield communication? Before radios, computers, or phones, the unique frequencies of the fife and drum allowed their sounds to carry over long distances and cut through the chaos on the battlefield. | National Memorial Day Concert (PBS)

Today marks the 240th anniversary of the Victory at Yorktown! Although we cannot gather today for the parade and other commemorative events, it does not lessen the significance of what occurred right here in Yorktown in 1781 - the last major battle of the American Revolution that secured our independence.
