Warren saved my life he saved many lives covering our retreat it was the bravest thing I ever seen I tried to get his body but potty I'm sorry son dr. Warren gone but but how can that be it was such a good man we lost many a good man today then what I will write is that the price of freedom is not cheap [Music] James oh you all right I'm fine but dr. Warren's dead oh no I'm so sorry James I know how much you admired him and I've got to write that the colonists lost their first real battle with the British that will weaken our cause the very cause for which dr. Warren gave his life maybe the story is not what you think it is what do you mean what happened at Bunker Hill is in the eye of the beholder we the British sustained hundreds of casualties really I was in the camp they may have taken Bunker Hill but they feel like they lost this was a blow you were in their camp looking for the man who knew your father and killed I'm sorry Sara did unrefined you of course I did James who won the battles I don't know that anyone did but our job is to report so let's get back to Philadelphia what's the matter on me I've never seen you throw away food after all this I'm suddenly not so hungry [Music] [Applause] [Music] quite a story you too dr. Warren was quite a man he sacrificed so much to help others live a lot of people made sacrifices at Bunker Hill you can tell dr. Franklin I'm ready to print what in blazes could be jamming the works this time case tree why are you looking at me dr. Franklin Moses is ready when you approve our story now let's see hmm the colonists suffered heavy casualties but we stood the best the British had to offer defeated only by a lack of powder there's only one thing I should like to add by standing together the colonial militias prove they have the will to take on the powerful British army the name Bunker Hill will be remembered in history as the event that turned a Massachusetts rebellion into America's revolution the king has lost his colonies dearest mother though I am well my heart is heavy I regret that my long journey to Boston yielded no word of father sadly the fighting at Bunker Hill resulted in the death of lieutenant Hampton many others died as well and along with them I fear any hope of peace also died at Bunker Hill we must accept that you and I will not be together soon this will be a long and costly uprising I remain your loving daughter Sara [Music] [Applause] [Music] sister [Music] give that freedom brother my indepence I'd declare it on the satellite never get luck you represent [Music] [Laughter]
