And I think about...
We all have stories about our own childhood and interesting and difficult challenges, and we think we've got amazing stories.
But I hope actually the kids who read this book will find inspirations for them and realize what they can do and the courage that is within them.
We tell the story, you know, I think my childhood, nothing on the patch of like Emily Geiger, who was an 18-year-old,
was asked to pass a message from a patriot general to another patriot general, but had to go through British lines to do it.
And she volunteered when no one else would.
She rode on her horse.
She got captured by British troops.
She read the message.
She swallowed the paper on which it was written.
She then escaped the British troops and rode on.
And, you know, think about the courage and the sacrifice of those kids during the course of the revolution.
Nathaniel Hale was 21 years old when he was put to death for being a spy.
The one that didn't make it in, Megan, that just really I wish it had, but, you know, there's only so much room.
Richard Lloyd-Jones was 10 years old.
When he joined up, the Continental Army is a fifer, marching alongside the troops, suffering the same hardships.
He served for three years.
And then he walked home 150 miles by himself.
I love our First Amendment.
and the opportunity to speak your mind, and you should do so freely and bravely, and whatever point of view you have.
