One can surely frame it that way. The founding fathers certainly did make supreme personal sacrifices for the young nation. They expressed that sentiment by their actions. However, I don't recall them using language like this. This is the way that socialists speak. In fact, it is the way that Stalin, Hitler and Mao frequently spoke. I think the spirit of the founders tells us that we all should be ready to make personal sacrifices for our personal liberty and that of our children.
