The Arizona Memorial, a monument to the strength of the American individuals who rose to meet our greatest challenge.
I challenge you in 2010 to study our history from not the standpoint of of national history but look back at the lives of individual average men and women who in each generation have held true to the beliefs and rights set forth in our Constitution and our given by our Creator.
Look not to the ideologies set for by modern historians and legislators but to those of our forefathers. Seek to understand what inspired those men and women who rose from among our population who truly shaped who we are. Men like George Washington, Henry Ford, Martin Luther King and women like Betsy Ross, Carrie Nations and all those who came not from privilege but rose from among us as freedom loving people who did inspiring things and made us what we are. Our greatness is not in who we are but what we have been, free men and women willing to sacrifice self for freedom and liberty. Men and women whose lives give testimony to what government by the people for the people is all about.
