When the hoofbeats and Paul Revere's shouts of "To arms! The
redcoats are coming!" awakened colonists on that dark April night
in 1775, most who heard the call shrugged, rolled over, and went
right back to sleep!
But, thankfully, many others who heard the call to arms were patriots. They
knew that freedom was not free. By dawn, scores of minutemen were in
position on Lexington Green to bravely face the King's army.
Now, tyranny threatens again. While some of your neighbors may "roll over
and go back to sleep," those who don't will always be grateful for your willingness to reach out with the
truth. Perhaps, someday, history will show that you were among the quiet, unsung heroes who, at a time
of great peril, helped save our Republic and its precious freedom for future generations.
