Friends and Fellow Patriots, the time has come to do something we clearly don’t do often enough.
We need to say…THANK YOU.
It’s just 2 words and they don’t come close to what we owe you, our readers, for all you have done for us at The National Patriot.

We recruited a few friends to contribute when they could and, on July 27th, 2011, we launched The National Patriot!!
