founding fathers. The central art

Founding Americas Principles -
The era of four centuries ago was marked by colonial expansion into
the New World, propelled by the bloody quarrels of monarchies and
aristocracies vying for wealth and power. Our of imperial piracy and
conquest arose refugees from many nation nations and walks of life
who sought to escape the swelling tide of tyranny. Freedom had
found its cause. Most of these courageous souls were not men of
rank and status, but tradesmen, craftsmen, farmers, inventors, yet
dreamers all. Finding themselves shielded in part by the great
Atlantic Ocean from the oppression of their homelands, these noble
commoners dared to plant their dream of personal liberty on the
eastern shores of America. Though under the shadows of several
nations, the people of the American colonies were spirited in a
sense all of their own, united in common purpose and ideals,
committing themselves to diligence, justice, charity, faith personal
responsibility and achievement, and above all, the hope a better
world which these principles create. When prevailing powers
threatened to extinguish the fledgling dream of freedom, these men
took up arms and laid down their lives, offering the "last full measure
of devotion" to the American Dream - the cause of freedom.

Sustaining America's Principles -
The ten generations that followed the birth of America bore witness
to the rise of the United States from a mere colonial confederation to
the greatest nation the world has ever known. After repelling foreign
aggression from abroad, and even overcoming her own internal
conflict, the young nation of the United States of America became
galvanized by her founding principles. American diligence was the
forerunner of innovation in the Industrial Revolution, forever
changing the world with many inventions still in use today. American
ingenuity ushered in the Information Age and so birthed a new era
of commerce and education. American justice and equality has
provided over two hundred years of peaceful succession of power,
during which time it has defended liberty and promoted free
democracy across the world. The American courage of the Armed
Forces has protected human rights within the United States and
throughout the free world. American charity, both on the national
and personal level, has continually lead the world in humanitarian
efforts, even at the cost of her own sons and daughters. This is the
American heritage, the people's inheritance, granted by the wisdom
of the founding fathers and the blood of our brave patriots. It is for
us to remember and uphold freedom's cause, that the "government
of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the earth."
