Liberty Day

This last weekend we performed at Liberty Day in Medinah, IL. We had a great time meeting old and new friends and enjoying the talks and celebration. Liberty Day commemorates the anniversary of Patrick Henry's "Liberty or Death" speech, March 23 1775, as a day for us and our posterity to set aside to bring to remembrance past defenders of Liberty, to stir into our hearts a deeper love for, and understanding of, Liberty, and to “beseech the Most High for Liberty in our day." They should have pictures from the event on their website soon, and you can see us perform a little in the slide show from last year.

"The fife and drum, which long ago

Called the folks to church on time

And told the soldiers when to go

And bounced along with beat and rhyme

"That which told of liberty's cry

And that which carried the firm hand

Of the justice of our great land

That would not tolerate the invader's plan

"This still sounds off hill and glen

And calls and shrikes to land and main

To not forget those mighty men

To take courage and rise again"

-Peter Bringe

The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies."

(Numbers 10:8b-9)
