Not only did he live that way ... but rather than compromise it, he was willing to die that way too.
I have taught my kids about him and his ilk and pray that we can stand in our turn whenever called upon.
I hope to be back there in DC when this is accomplished and I hope to bring my two boys with me.
I just saw the film and you are so right on how he refused to compromise his beliefs even at the cost of his life.
