"The Battle Continues"
GOAL Event Recap: The Battle Continues 250 Dinner
On April 19th, 2025, Gun Owners’ Action League (GOAL) hosted a truly unforgettable event to honor the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord — the very birthplace of the American Revolution. Aptly named “The Battle Continues,” the evening was more than a dinner — it was a bold recommitment to defending liberty.
This exquisite musket was donated by Bill Bachant (Banchet Armament) and raised $20,775 at auction for The Civil Rights coalition
This incredible opening video was created by GOAL's President, Garet Halcomb, and narrated by Massad Ayoob.
A Day of Reflection & Resolve
The day began at the historic Lexington battlefield, where GOAL and The Civil Rights Coalition members stood shoulder to shoulder. Together, we witnessed the reenactment of the road race and paid tribute to the brave patriots who took a stand on that very ground 250 years ago.
We remembered the 77 Minutemen who fought on that sacred field and honored the eight men who gave their lives in defense of freedom. As we stood on that soil — where the “shot heard “round the world” rang out — we were filled with both reverence and purpose.
An Evening with Patriots
Later that day, the celebration continued with a powerful dinner event. The room was filled with true patriots—a community united in purpose and passion. Speakers and Special guests took the stage to inspire, reflect, and call us all to action.
