I've heard it said from some of my older ancestors that the reason our family settled in the hills of Kentucky was that it reminded them of the Highlands from whence they came.
"My beloved America, thank you for your children. If your children want to become soldiers I will train them. When they are hungry I will feed them. When they are thirsty I will give them water. When they fight for freedom I will lead them. When they are unsteady on the battlefield I will motivate them. If they die on the battlefield I will bury them. So help me God."
