"Men, it all comes down to what you believe in. And what do I believe in? Our country! Every man present should be able to fight and die, proudly for our country. We should fight proudly for all American's rights, Whether they're young or old, in the present or the future! Before, as Patrick Henry said, 'The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave....' He was right! The war is not just for the strong alone, its for the vigilant, the active and, most importantly the brave! We colonists need to be brave! We need to FIGHT! We will get our revenge on those horrible Red Coats for causing the Boston Massacre, they killed several of our own people! Also, we will make them pay for the unfair taxation they made on our beloved tea! These Red Coats have taken away our trade! They use force to make sure they get what they want. We need to fight! What will they think of us if we chicken out now? We have come so far and have done so much! We are in the revolution! We will MAKE the revolution."     = =
