We honor our patriot ancestors because they stood for something greater than themselves—liberty, sacrifice, and the founding principles of our nation. They risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to secure the freedoms we cherish today. Their courage in the face of tyranny and their unwavering commitment to independence laid the foundation for a nation built on self-governance, faith, and perseverance.

Honoring them is not just about the past; it is about ensuring that their sacrifices continue to inspire us to uphold the values for which they fought.
