“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” – Abraham Lincoln

 

 

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” – Elmer Davis

 

 

“So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Happy Revolution Day

Our parents and grand parents before us came here the right way, not coming in illegality, They came for freedom and the right to earn a decent living for their families, not for free handouts. They came to be Americans and have fought and died to defend it.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

Mark Twain
