Patrick Henry - Give me Liberty or Give Me Death

Back in the earliest days of our nation a determined thirty-nine-year-old radical thinking attorney addressed the Virginia Convention. It was on March 23, 1775, that Patrick Henry made a soul-stirring speech which included, “If we wish to be free we must fight!....I repeat it, sirs we must fight! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” We applaud the courageous passion of Patrick Henry to this day. Because of it he remains in our minds as one of our national heroes. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
