Special Presenter — Andy Patterson – Reenactor
250th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty” speech reenactment, a pivotal moment leading to the American Revolution.
Andy Patterson is a native Coloradan, a homeschool graduate and now a homeschool father. He has been presenting Patrick Henry as a historical reenactor for nearly 15 years and was inspired by Patrick Henry’s prophetic voice and skillful communication for “such a time as this” in American history. Andy presents an engaging presentation of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty” speech, which moved the colony of Virginia to prepare for the American War for Independence.
Andy hopes to inspire a new generation of patriots to give all for God and for liberty.
