Carved on stone in Plymouth is a message of deep gratitude to God. This article explores that message in the context of “Faith, Morality, Law. Education and Liberty” - The DNA of a free nation.

“... in the name of the Fathers we dedicate this monument and ourselves. For ages it will stand the enduring witness to grave and resolute conduct; to privations and sacrifices; to thrift and frugality; to domestic love and unaffected piety; to rectitude in thought as well as in life; to earnest principles and true beliefs; to Christian fidelity and faith... here and now we rededicate ourselves to a more fervent love for man as man; to a braver allegiance to truth for truth’s sake, and this ‘in the name of God’ and Amen and Amen!” (William C.P. Breckinridge at the 1889 Dedication of the National Monument to the Forefathers.)
