Patrick Henry Has a Message for Us

""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.

A week from now, April l, 1945, will mark the 65th anniversary of the battle for Okinawa, the last great battle of World War II and one of the bloodiest in American history, with enormous casualties on both sides. What would those Americans who died there think of what is now happening in the country they fought for? As one who took part in that battle, I do not like the socialism and government interference in our lives that the Obama administration has brought us. I would welcome another Patrick Henry. Liberties lost are seldom regained.
