Milestone #1
LIBERTY IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
“We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which
is now coming on….An appeal to arms and the God of Hosts is all that
is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak, unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?…Shall we gather
strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of
effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the
delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand
and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means
that the God of nature hath placed in our power…Besides, sir, we shall
not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the
destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles
for us…. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant,
the active, the brave. …Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there
is no peace. The war is actually begun….Why stand we here idle?… 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!”
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
Citizenship Commitment: I am willing to stand up for liberty.
