BICENTENNIAL PATRIOTS' PLEDGE
INSPIRED BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS, WE ALSO PLEDGE
"our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor" to the

responsibility and the right to "life, liberty and the

They said: We pledge:
FREEDOM

|
|
|

Liberty can no more exist
without virtue than the
body can live and move
without a soul.
|
|
To so live that America
finds true freedom-—not
freedom to do as we wish,
but freedom to do "the
right as God gives us to
see the right".
