True To The Old Flag - A Tale of The American War For Independence from Chuck Thompson

This e-book gives some stories of the battles in the war for independence.  It was by no means an easy feat.  What is sad, our education system does not teach this throughout all grades of schooling.  It should be mandatory.  But then again, when you have no idea what you are giving up, it becomes easy to take it from you.  Think about it.

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride.  See the Liberty's Kids video and then read the short story right here on GVLN.  An incredible story of patriotism and determination.  There are several issues we see with Liberty's Kids.  We very much like these videos but notice that they lack one of the primary reasons and foundations to our independence.  Freedom of religion and the fact that this nation was founded on the principles of Christianity.  Using Benjamin Franklin as the main character to build all the stories around allows the creators of the series to avoid that aspect of our American past.

  We are debating whether or not to start another educational series showing how Christianity was very much a part of the American Revolution and never would have succeeded without it.  Our Constitution is based on Christian principles and according to the words of John Adams, will serve no other.

Free downloads of the story of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride are available on our SlideShare account.

 

This is a nice short video recreating the famous ride.  Well done.
