These individuals actually embodied the TRUE meaning of the words "American patriotism," and not the contemporary artificial, selfish, crowd-pandering bushwah that poses as "American patriotism" in today's politics: the handful of Americans inside this book were more courageous than any of the current poseurs who sit inside ANY of the marble halls in Washington, D. C. -- and that goes for EVERY current political party -- so there!
