Dad has taken up the scepter for History Corner, so here is his latest review for the History Corner!
Synopsis: The United States of America was founded and established by ordinary citizens just like you and me. In their struggle for independence, these heroic men and women willingly shed their blood, sweat, and tears—often sacrificing their own lives and fortunes in order to hand down the precious legacy of freedom we all enjoy today. Now is the time for a new generation of American patriots to rise up and join in the fight. Now is the time for every American to return to the virtues, values, and ideals that formed our foundation of freedom, and enable America to remain a great nation, a powerful democracy, and a beacon of hope for the world.
American Patriots highlights the heroic men and women who valiantly fought to secure our God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—not only for themselves and their children, but for countless future generations. Their stories are a true reminder of the extraordinary faith, courage, and determination that set this country on the path to greatness centuries ago, and an inspiration for future generations of great American patriots.

Review: On January 20th, 1961, President John F. Kennedy, made the following statement, “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” The American Patriots that Senator Santorum writes about in this book did exactly that, they asked what they could do for their country. They were ordinary citizens looking to make a better life for themselves and their families and fellow countrymen. Senator Santorum and his staff did an extra ordinary job on research on the people that he writes about. Both men and women, of all colors and creeds, went beyond the call of duty to help make this country what it is today. We must all follow their fervor to help keep this country “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Each and every citizen of the this nation should read this book not by requirement but by a desire to make this nation better than what it was when we were either born here or chose to make it our nation. God Bless America!
