Presidents Day. A time to recall our patriotic leaders… “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” – Abraham Lincoln "Where liberty dwells, there is my country." — Benjamin Franklin “In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.” – Franklin D.

It is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent.” – Theodore Roosevelt “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.” – Winston Churchill “We are not merely defending a piece of territory—we are defending the principles that make our country worth fighting for.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower "America was not built on fear. America was built on courage." — Harry S.
