G is for Gage who played by the rules allowing us to use them against him.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

During the whole affair, the rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance and resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into a regular body. Indeed they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself very much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about..."Gen. Hugh, Earl Percy

Indeed.  I think the presentation should go through the alphabet according to the posts on this thread, then finish with the "A is for Appleseed slide."  Would make a good YouTube short as well (about 3-5 seconds for each slide with The White Cockade playing in the backgroud - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me_LOrsFLsE).
