To commies, domestic traitors, global elites, and other such vermin, I'll just pass along a slightly altered line from Steve McQueen's character in Papillon, "We're still here, you bastards!"
Let us honor those giants, our founding fathers, for one of the noblest achievements in human history. May they live in our memories forever.
From the excellent AMC series, Turn: Washington's Spies, here is the scene featuring the British surrender at Yorktown.
The American Civil War tested the Republic as never before, and the great words of Abraham Lincoln have come echoing down the years, filled with commitment to duty and the hope of a better future for a nation healed from the wounds of war. I have always cherished this scene in the movie, Ruggles of Red Gap, in which an expatriate English butler (played by Charles Laughton), alone in a room full of American locals, remembers the words of the Gettysburg Address, and utters them with heartfelt humility.
All rise for our National Anthem.
