Truth never goes out of style. I post these because I hope to remind anyone and everyone of our indescribable legacy as Americans, that we may possess not merely the convictions of our founders, not merely their courage, wisdom, and integrity, but that we may engage ourselves in our time with fervor as equal to and surpassing to our challenges as theirs was to their own.
