“If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger.”
George Washington, at Valley Forge.
The names of changed but the threat to our freedom is just as real today. I would say more so.
I live west of the Bread Basket of the Confederacy (Shenandoah Valley) from the Blue Ridge in the Allegheny Highlands, and I’ll wave at you from my ridge! Got plenty of veggies out of the garden, the deer are fat, cider is getting hard in the cellar & have enough bullets to last for several years. We’re ready.
