“I am not influenced by the expectation of promotion or pecuniary reward. I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary for the public good, becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a peculiar service, its claim to perform that service are imperious.” – Nathan Hale

On this date, we honor the death of a man who valued freedom and liberty for all of America over his own life. For this, we express our gratitude to Nathan Hale.
