Welcome to the first publication of The Eagle's Eye! I am Katie Libertas
and it is my hope that your experience with us will be enlightening, thought
provoking, and challenging. I, as a patriot, dream of a free society where
a man is rewarded for the merit of his toil and not stripped of it without
trial or recourse. I believe in the inalienable rights given by Providence
and shudder at how those rights are being eroded away by detestable tyranny.
I envision a future for my children and my children's children where liberty
reigns and freedom is not a long ago dream. For this I will write, for this
I will speak, and should the need arise . . . For this I will fight.
We often speak of those patriots of old who won for us a nation: Patrick
Henry, Nathan Hale, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson,
Thomas Paine, Paul Revere . . . and the list goes on, their deeds having
breathed on them a spirit we have honored through history to this day!
Charles V. Willie writes, "By idolizing those whom we honor, we do a
disservice both to them and to ourselves. . . . We fail to recognize that we
could go and do likewise." This is a lofty and worthy goal. I hope we will
all run toward it.
