The picture above is Old Glory proudly displayed on the corner and front porch of the historic Kear House on Underhill Ave in Yorktown Heights.  Kear was a supervisor of the town many years ago.  Now the house is the home of the Grace & Grace law firm.  This is also the home of the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce.What a wonderful location for a networking mixer in this very patriotic backdrop.Walk down Underhill Ave to the Pinebridge Monument below.Fought within Yorktown’s borders, the “Battle of Pines Bridge” was one of the bloodiest small unit actions in the first military undertaking of this great nation, the War for Independence.This is my second post of the challenge sponsored by Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho and Endre Barath, Jr.
