Here is a rallying speech that brings chills to my spine:

Virginians!
For your lands! For your homes!
For your sweethearts! For your wives!
For Virginia!
Forward!

General Lewis Armistead, July 3, 1863, Gettysburg.

As a native Virginian, that makes me feel great. Thanks.
'Course, in the 19th century, my family lived in NYC, but still, I was born and raised in VA, the foothills of the Blue Ridge, on a farm.
