In the brief course of human history, decisions such as these here today, have perplexed not only the seasoned patriot, but the novice volunteer who has waned in the fringes of indecision. To such decisions as important as these we mark today and in the days that follow, special days of contemplation. We must ask ourselves one question. Will it be worth it ?
To those who would ponder such a meaningful battle of mind and heart, I say to you that the torment you shall rain down upon your consciouss shall not be done in vain. It is cavalier and noble a deed to sacrafice one's monetary stipend to further the cause as glorious as freedom. And it is in no small defference, that we should amend our own comfort for the battles we fight in defense of liberty, peace, and prosperity.
It is never a small thing when we join our brethern and sisters across this great nation, one voice in mutual self interest, spreading a message that can not be tempered or tamed with apathy anymore.
And so, I say unto those who should waver or question the motives that bequeath us all sometimes to justify our rational thoughts with irrational possibilities. It is not him, the man we drench with hard earned sweat and tears, but his message, brought down to us by our founding fathers. It is our duty to keep hope alive, if not for us, for our future patriots, who will someday look back upon this effort with awe and respect. That we did not shirk our solemn responsibility to leave the next generation better than the one before, that we left freedom intact, and liberty and justice for all.
Give what you can, and be happy. Your reward will be reaped tenfold. There is no shame in how much or how little it is that you give.
Our only shame should be that when called upon by the haunting voices of our founding fathers...we did nothing.
