1776 – “They call us ‘minute men’. But I’m more concerned about the coming generations than about the next minutes. We fight with General Washington so our children’s children will continue to be free from tyranny.” – R. Owen Nashun
1861 – “I’m one of the lucky ones. I escaped and rode the underground railroad to freedom. Now I’m helping supply Lincoln’s army so it can free others. We sacrifice so our grandbabies will be free from the threat of slavery.” – I. Bea Phree
1910 – “It seems almost silly that men think women aren’t as capable of making intelligent decisions and choosing our government leaders as men are. That’s why I’m dedicated to women’s suffrage. We march so that our granddaughters will have self-determination and an equal voice.” - Juanita Ballot
1935 – “Hundreds of thousands of folks are out of work or destitute, and the dustbowl is driving farmers from their homes. So we Americans roll up our sleeves and pull each other up. I cook at the soup kitchen whenever I can. We volunteer so that all our grandchildren – rich or poor – can follow their dreams in the pursuit of happiness.” - Cher Da’Grubb
1961 – “President Kennedy said, ‘…ask what you can do for your country.’ I asked and found my calling as a medical research scientist. Basic science is foundational to the medical breakthroughs that have allowed Americans to live longer, healthier lives. We researchers puzzle-out viruses so that our grandchildren can look forward to a healthy future.” - Cy Eintist
2025 – “Habitat and bio-diversity loss, ocean acidification, climate disruption, chemical and plastic pollution – Lordy! It’s overwhelming! What can any one person do?” Wanda Steppup lamented. “One thing I’m NOT going to do is throw up my hands and surrender. That just feels crummy and doesn’t help one bit.
“Some folks have said WE are the patriots our country has been waiting for. Can we live up to that calling and honor those patriots who have come before us? One way is to shrink our environmental footprints. Just imagine the impact our combined efforts can make! Patriots, are you with me? Let’s step up so our grands can grow and prosper on a bountiful, healthy planet. After all, this is their only home; it’s where we’re all forever… Earthbound.”
