Nathan Hale:  “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” These words, spoken by Nathan Hale just prior to his execution by the British in 1776, speak to the spirit of patriotism that was the battle cry of the American Revolution. Rights and freedoms that today’s American students relegate to the dusty world of history are seen as life-and-death issues through the lens of young soldiers and citizens in the throes of a revolution.
