“Since the inception of civilization, there has been evidenced in man the instinctive drive toward religious and political freedom. For this cause men and women have been willing to give up their most precious possessions, even their lives. Part of the air we breathe, the challenge of freedom at some time touches every shore, every country, every heart. Yesterday, today and into the foreseeable future the fight for freedom continues. To Americans it is best symbolized by the two periods I have tried to portray within the limitations of a medal -- the colonization and revolutionary eras when the desire for freedom deeply stirred the souls of America’s early settlers and patriots. The inscriptions “They Found Freedom to Worship God” is from Felicia D. Hemans poem -- [i]Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers[/i]. “Armed in the Holy Cause of Liberty” is from Patrick Henry’s speech delivered before the Virginia Convention of Delegates, March 28th, 1775.”
