Hale Is What He Is

Liberty? Independence? Are They To Remain Only Words? Gentlemen, Let Us Make Them Fighting Words!

Let Us March Immediately, And Never Lay Down Our Arms Until We Obtain Our Independence.

I Am Not Influenced By The Expectation Of Promotion Or Pecuniary Reward. I Wish To Be Useful, And Every Kind Of Service Necessary For The Public Good, Becomes Honorable By Being Necessary. If The Exigencies Of My Country Demand A Peculiar Service, Its Claim To Perform That Service Are Imperious.

It Is The Duty Of Every Good Officer To Obey Any Orders Given Him By His Commander-in-chief.

I Only Regret That I Have But One Life To Lose For My Country.
