An anonymous reader informs me the brigade marching in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston were not Red Coats.
They are, in fact, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, a part of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment which is stationed at Fort Myer, Virginia.
The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps regularly appear at Presidential inaugurations, sporting events and in parades in Southie.
So if the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps appear at next year's parade and they are greeted with jeers I will set the drunkards straight.
Whoever you are I appreciate the correction.
