St. John's Church, Site of Patrick Henry's Famous Speech



Rex can recite Patrick Henry's Speech....."Give me Liberty or Give me Death."
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

  1. I'm enjoying all of the REX pictures you've recently added. Ten pictures of Rex in front of a "sign." Something about the "Inherent Risk of Skiing." Is that in the passport office? Why would they care about skiing anyway? Maybe that was getting your skiing pass?? I'm quiet un-athletic.

    I like the picture of Barbara and Susan in front of the Church where Patrick Henry and Rex Frazier gave their famous speeches!!!
