Our founding fathers were scholars and warriors. They wrote a constitution and defeated the British army. Our founding fathers were farmers who plowed the soil with a horse and plow, they were also hunters who with muskets killed deer and b...ear. Our founding fathers were explorers as they pushed ever deeper into a unknown land, they were also builders who set up forts in the wilderness. What kind of man could do all of these things and what kind of woman walked beside him into the unknown wilds of America ?
A man of great physical strength because these tasks were not for the weak. A man of great courage for these tasks were not for the meek. A man of knowledge for ignorance couldn't write such inspiring words. A man of vision to see beyond the "what is" and into the "what will be" These were just men but they were men who lived every day to it's fullest. The women who walked with these men shared every quality the men had and two more qualities were their own . The women had faith in their men to succeed and provide and the women had the ability to provide comfort for their families in a land and time of harshness.
From these incredible people your family sprang. You were born of the blood of heroes. Ask yourself if You are the type of man or woman that these heroes would call their own. If America is to survive the trouble facing her, she will once again needs to become the
Home of the brave and land of the Free. It's up to you...and me..and the next guy and the next woman.
America is ours, if we can keep it.
