Ask a person what he or she is willing to die for, and I will tell you what they love.
In 1775, at the Second Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry declared his love for this Country:
"Give me liberty, or give me death!"
The men who signed the Declaration of Independence had very few illusions about what they were risking when on July 2, 1776 the Continental Congress passed a resolution affirming that the states were independent of the British crown by signing their names below this statement:
"We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes And Our Sacred Honor"
This Day we Memorialize by remembering all those who died to keep this Country free from tyrants.
Can we truly Honor the sacrifice if we are not ourselves willing to die for the freedom they so Honorably fought to pass on to us?
