Sacrifice in Vietnam
During the American Revolution Patrick Henry worked along side George Washington to spark a successful revolt against the British. He helped organize the revolution and encouraged others to fight against tyranny. His eloquent words and speeches are historic. Patrick Henry is the ultimate symbol of sacrifice. His Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death! speech is legendary. Here is another symbol of sacrifice. On Jan. 16, 1969, Garfield Langhorn was sent on a mission to find fallen soldiers from a downed helicopter crash. He found their lifeless bodies and brought them back to camp. Upon his arrival back to camp he saved many wounded soldiers lives by throwing his body on a live grenade. He sacrificed himself to protect his friends. He was very brave. Patriots like Garfield Langhorn should never be forgotten.
