The EZM
The End Zone Militia consists of reenactors, also known as historical interpreters, who portray individuals from New England's Revolutionary War period, circa 1775. Seen on the sidelines of a New England Patriots or New England Revolution game, or proudly conducting Honor Guard at a Boston Red Sox game, the group supports local sporting teams and nationally provides the ambiance of New England's rich heritage.
Members from the End Zone Militia also participate in reenactments, historical events, parades, and educational activities outside of the sporting scene, and these activities happen throughout the year.
In local history, Mass Bay Colony was a hotbed of political dissent towards the mother country of England in the 1760s and on. On April 19, 1775, the situation became open rebellion when British Crown Forces sent 800 men to seize stores and arms in Concord, MA. The local populace challenged the British Regulars and started the American Revolution.
Men in the End Zone Militia reenact individuals from all walks of life from that period. For example, some are blacksmiths while others are farmers. Another might be a surgeon. These people from different class all participated in the formation of the United States of America, and End Zone Militia's presence provides the public with living history and the nation with a representation of New England's past.
