Resolved, That we, Citizens of Acton, tender to Co. F., 6th Regiment of Infantry, M. V.

Isaac Davis, the commander of Acton's company of Minute Men at the Old North Bridge in Con-
II
cord on the 19th of April, 1775, and who, while leading his men at the right of the line in this, the first organized armed resistance to King George III, was the first commissioned officer to fall, in that war that made us a nation and gave political being to the United States of America.
Resolved, That as Acton is no longer represented in the State Militia as she was for many years successively by the Davis Blues, and by the Davis Guards, that we tender our hearty and sincere thanks to Co. F., 6th Regiment, M. V. M., for adopting his name and for thus tending to pass it on, that it may carry with it a similar patriotic inspiration in the future to that which it has carried with it in the past.
