Patriot Week will host its Fifth Annual Patrick Henry Event to honor this year's Patriot of the Year Award recipients and commemorate the anniversary of Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" speech. The family-friendly evening will also feature special guest Fred Morsell, nationally recognized actor and historian, as "Frederick Douglass" to deliver the keynote address.
"Patriot Week renews the spirit of America by celebrating our founding First Principles, key documents and speeches, founding fathers and other great patriots, and flags from our history," remarked Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren, co-founder of Patriot Week with his, then 10-year-old, daughter, Leah. "To maintain our liberties, we need to recognize not only the contributions of individuals like Patrick Henry and Frederick Douglass, but also applaud the contributions of modern day Patriots like Captain/Director/Judge Jim Redford, Middle Eastern American TV & Radio and the late Congressman Joe Knollenberg."
The event will take place Thursday, March 22, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the San Marino Club, 1685 E. Big Beaver Rd. in Troy. Cost is $55 per person. For additional information, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.
