Remember the Raisin!

Went to court in Monroe, Michigan today and passed by the monument to the Battle of the River Raisin at the north west corner East Elm Ave & North Dixie Hwy, and I also passed signs to the River Rasin Battlefield National Park.

The River Raisin battlefield, on January 22, 1813 was the site of a now almost forgotten battle and the subsequent massacre of 30-40 wounded US troops by the British and Indians that took place during the war of 1812 .

"Remember the Raisin" was a rallying cry for US troops in the war, but it lacked the punchy and emotive staying power of the later "Remember The Alamo".

But them's the grapes.
