And Now, A Word From...
-
...Patrick Henry:
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
-----March 23, 1775

I've always loved that speech! It's a crying shame that so many people that call themselves "Americans" have forgotten it, or what it means.
Testify!
Your are Nice. And so is your site! Maybe you need some more pictures. Will return in the near future.
