I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death...
Judged by the law of England I know this crime entails upon me the penalty...
A good government may indeed redress the grievances of an injured people...
Because of my own family's service (in the U.S. Army Navy and Massachusetts and New York National Guard) I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars.
