“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.” ~ Thomas Paine

American patriots are composed of the following groups of people;

1. The few remaining World War II and Korean War veterans

2. Those of us who are veterans of the Vietnam War

3. Those who have served in the military and saw combat in the various conflicts since Vietnam

4. Those people who know and understand actual American history and the price paid by others

5. Those people who have legally migrated to and become citizens of America after living under repressive governments and know that America is headed down the wrong road
