Chestertown 1774 Tea Party Festival

This weekend the Marines provided law and order at the Chestertown 1774 Tea Party event in Maryland.  After raising the British Flag over the town to start the day, they kept the unruly in check.  They were able to inspect the ship in dock of cargo and ensured the taxes were paid before it could be off loaded.  There were many in town that were not happy with the latest taxes to be paid on any cargo coming into port; however, it was a beautiful day to keep the malcontents in town obeying the laws of the King!  God Save The King!
