"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Honoring our fallen. Squaw Peak in Arizona is to be re-named in honor of Pfc. Lori Piestewa. A Hopi serving in Iraq who died there.

Piestewa, a graduate of Tuba City High, was a soldier in the 507th Maintenance Company out of Fort Bliss, Texas, that was sent to Iraq. A portion of the 507th was ambushed March 23, and Piestewa was among eight soldiers killed in action in that ambush. She leaves behind a 4-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter.
