Please thank Mr. Cuccinelli for me. (Descendent of 2nd crossing Jamestowne settler — 1608.)
My daughter, son in law, and 2 grandchildren live in Glen Allen. I would move there in a minute, if I could, but I am tied to a struggling business in snowy Wisconsin. I’m going there for Christmas.
My family has deep roots in VA, although we have lived elsewhere for 11 generations. (All over elsewhere!)
May God bless those who fight in defense of liberty and for freedom from government tyranny.
BTW, Patrick Henry made his last speech and public appearance in Charlotte Courthouse, nearby my ancestral plantation. They say that thousands came from miles around to enjoy his renowned oratory. I’ve forgotten the details, but I think that he died before he could take office. I think he was running for Congress.
Charlotte Courthouse is a little town in the far southwest of VA.
I will add your thanks among the scores of others that I’ve been asked to deliver. I know he appreciates it.
