If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

What a guy! Glad they named the field after him!

He was one heck of a guy.   I’m with you.   They don’t make them like that any more.
