| Time to Think: “If we wish to be free – if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending – if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have so long engaged . . . we must fight! I know not what course others may take; but for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” ~ Patrick Henry Take a few minutes to contemplate by yourself or discuss with a friend the meaning of this quote. Why were the Founding Fathers willing to risk their lives for liberty? Who else has risked or given their lives to defend our freedom? Are there people today that live up to Patrick Henry’s commitment? Are you willing to risk your life for your freedom, the freedom of your family, and the nation? Action Activities: Short: Read highlights of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!” speech or Thomas Paine’s Crisis No. 1 Medium: Read the entire Declaration of Independence out loud with family and friends Long: Observe moments of silence and reflection throughout the morning in remembrance of 9/11: 8:46 am: Hijackers crash Flight 11 into the north tower 9:03 am: Hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into the south tower 9:37 am: Hijackers crash American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon 9:59 am: The south tower collapses 10:03 am: Passengers launch a counterattack on hijackers aboard United Airlines Flight 93. The hijackers crash the plane into an empty field near Shanksville, Pa 10:28 am: The north tower collapses |
The Patriot Week Foundation achieved its 501(c)(3) status in December 2012 and has moved forward by building a sustainable, nonpartisan organization. Currently staffed with an Operations Manager and Education Consultant, the Patriot Week Foundation will be adding to its complement of talent shortly.
This unique, historically grounded, non-partisan approach is desperately needed in our toxic political environment. In no small measure, the fate of the nation depends on it.
