Patriotic fervor
Nearly 250 years
to the day that Patrick Henry delivered his “Give me liberty, or give me
death” speech, the Patriot Week Foundation presented its 12th annual
Patrick Henry Awards Dinner at the San Marino Club in Troy on March 13.
The event, which is spearheaded annually by Oakland County Circuit Court
Judge Michael Warren, drew a crowd of “approximately 250 attendees who
were treated, among other things, to a riveting re-enactment of Henry’s
speech by Henry Nelson of the Players theater troupe,” according to
Judge Warren, who founded Patriot Week with his daughter Leah. Pictured
at the event are (left to right) John Rzepka of the Civilian Air
Patrol, who was the recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Award; Judge
Warren; honoree Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein;
Oakland County Circuit Court Chief Judge Jeffery Matis; and Carl
Marlinga, former Macomb County Circuit Court judge.
