Never so few gave so much for their fellow man... than the 56 original signors of the 'Declaration of Independence'. Out of their sacrifice and devotion to liberty our heritage was secured and now we stand anew ... to be tested in our resolve too serve liberty. Will we measure up to our name sake and the call of liberty as did they?
Shall we all rally round the flag... too, lift it high that our fellow patriot may see and rise to the occasion or will we sit silently restrained by personal indulgences and the need for security... over liberty? Can there be security without liberty? Let us examine our call and know our metal must be strong and resolute in the face of tyranny. We must not surrender what our father's so unselfishly bequeathed us... Our dignity, our heritage .... yeah, our very honor, rests in our resolve to pass on that heritage to our children and grand children.
What then can we do... but stand true to the words of our forefather's and in faith to their quest, restoring liberty to her rightful place, at the head of our nation. Rise up ye men of valor and strength ... take hold of thy neighbors hand and together forge new weapons for the Armory of liberty. Let not the heat of the day brake your will, nor discourage your course.... but hold true to the words of life, given to us by our Father in Heaven and of the field, this day... That neither shall be shamed by our resolve, to return government to its Constitutional purpose.

I am reminded od Shakespears Play 'Henry The 5th' and these immortal words... which bare repeating today:
"We in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day."
Who will now join us in a new St. Crispin's day... too raise the flag and clear the way... too, bring once more honor to the filed and joy to the hearts of men... for blood is required where great sacrifice is necessary to the good will of all mankind. Let us share in the load this day too bring our part in this struggle of brothers... to be free indeed requires more than words... and manhood is measured not only in conversation but by the measure of ones steal in the face of his enemy.
