PATRIOT WEEK: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country"

Renewing the American Spirit

Patriot Week begins on 9/11 and ends on 9/17 (the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution (Constitution Day)) and renews America’s spirit by celebrating the First Principles, Founding Fathers and other Patriots, vital documents and speeches, and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history. Many of current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America’s spirit. This blog is dedicated to keeping the spirit of Patriot Week - and America - alive all year long.....

"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country"

The immortal words of Nathan Hale were uttered just before he was summarily executed by the British as a spy. He knew - and paid - the price of freedom. Today as we look around at our political culture, one must ask, do they - do we - have that courage today? The answer is yes - many soldiers willingly die for our freedom every week in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in the War on Terror. We must continue to honor their sacrifices by fighting for our freedom here, or their efforts are in vain.
