The Power of Patriotism represents an enormous love of God and country. It is a story of how a simple speech left the hands and lips of an average American citizen and touched the hearts of a nation starving for a way to express their thoughts and feelings of patriotism. This is the speech that fed that hunger and encouraged a nation to express their thoughts and feelings and empowered a world to embrace them. This is The Power of Patriotism – The Speech Heard Around the World.

In February 2003 at the outset of the War with Iraq, Beth Chapman presented a four-minute speech at a “Stand Up for America Rally” for which she received five standing ovations from the 1,200 people in attendance. This book received international acclaim and was awarded the prestigious George Washington Medal of Honor by the Foredooms Foundation at Valley Forge.

“The Speech,” as it has become known, immediately began circulating throughout newspapers, television and radio stations all across America and worldwide via the Internet. The speech drew international acclaim reaching all 50 states and more than 18 countries, the Pentagon, aircraft carriers, battlefields, victims of 9-11, veteran’s organizations and all branches of the U.S. Military. It was entered into the Congressional Record, just weeks after it was written and presented, and is hailed by many as “One of the greatest speeches ever written.”

Chapman received thousands of letters, phone calls and emails in praise of the speech that most termed as, “What I felt and thought, but didn’t know how to say.”

This book reflects upon the origination, presentation, results, heart-breaking and heart-touching responses received from veterans, military family members and American soldiers who used the speech to motivate their troops the first day they marched on Baghdad and the first day their submarine fired missiles from the Red Sea.
