The Most Epic Quotes From Braveheart

Mel Gibson’s Braveheart is the story of the Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace who led revolt against King Edward I of England during the 13th century. Although some of the historical fact might have been infused with a bit of Hollywood license, the movie was nonetheless…epic!

20 Quotes To Renew Your Patriotism

Every year, Americans celebrate their independence from Great Britain on the Fourth of July. Because of the courage and tenacity of those who fought for victory during the Revolutionary War; we celebrate that monumental moment in US history with barbecues, colorful parades, flag hoisting ceremonies,firework displays, or maybe a day trip to the beach — all a far cry from what our founding fathers would have done.

From that day forward the 13 colonies, which made up most of the East Coast from Massachusetts to Georgia, were on their way to becoming a sovereign nation and the first states in the United States of America. A movement that would later hail those who sacrificed and fought as true American heroes.

It’s easy to forget why we celebrate Independence Day, so here are some patriotic and inspirational quotes that will make you proud to be an American patriot.

I started out with the Remobile Pro theme and decided to move to the Altitude Pro theme.
