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.
