Photos: Battle of Brooklyn 232nd Anniversary

The Battle of Brooklyn took place 232 years ago. Here are some photos from the annual commemoration, which took place this past Sunday. Interestingly, the wild Quaker Parrots that live at Green-Wood Ceremony didn't seem to mind all the colonial hoopla, except for the firing of the rifles.
