Brothers and sisters,I just watched this video on YouTube about General Daniel Morgan and his brilliant victory at the Battle of Cowpens in January 1781. I think you'll like it.
https://youtu.be/-DB6i1P6F9Y
I've visited the site of the nearby Battle of King's Mountain, and I plan to visit Cowpens later this summer. Visiting these places really brings them to life because the terrain still remains almost identical to the conditions when the battles were fought, unlike areas in the North where cities grew up around the battle sites.

Thank you for the video.  Sounds like a great vacation trip. (If there was time for a vacation.)
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

thanks for sharing!
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan
