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 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 (l-r) at the event: John Rzepka of the Civilian Air Patrol, who was the recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Award; Judge Warren; honoree Justice Richard Bernstein of the Michigan Supreme Court; Chief Judge Jeffery Matis of the Oakland County Circuit Court; and Carl Marlinga, former Macomb County Circuit Court judge.
