Fairfax County Chapter
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors; they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. ... Samuel Adams (1771)

Our Patriot Ancestors
By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Hence once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world.
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1837
In 1770, Dr. Joseph Warren wrote the song "Free America". He later was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill defending his beliefs in freedom and liberty. Listen here to FREE AMERICA mp3
