IRVINE, CA--On Presidents' Day, we should remember and honor the great men who contributed to the struggle to bring a free and secure America into existence. First among these are Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. But among the other founding heroes, one man stands out. This man--whom Jefferson once described as "the first man on this continent"--was Patrick Henry. From his first appearance on the stage of the Founding drama, in 1765, to his last fiery appearance, in 1799, Patrick Henry stood as a beacon of integrity, fighting to guide the young America to safe harbor.

Come and be inspired by Dr. John Ridpath of the Ayn Rand Institute as he presents his tribute to Patrick Henry.


Dr. John Ridpath is available for media interviews now and after his talk.
