American Patriots - Tapa dura

Recounts the contributions of twenty-five Revolutionary War-era citizens who worked toward securing the freedoms that Americans enjoy today.

It’s Time to Answer the Call
The United States of America was founded by ordinary citizens who willingly sacrificed their lives and fortunes in order to hand down the precious legacy of freedom we enjoy today.

In American Patriots, Rick Santorum shares the true-life accounts of twenty-five unsung heroic men and women from the Revolutionary War era. These citizen Patriots fought valiantly and made significant sacrifices to secure our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—not only for themselves, but also for countless future generations.

Their stories provide stirring reminders of the extraordinary faith, courage, and determination that set this country on the path to greatness centuries ago, as well as continued inspiration for generations of American patriots to come.

Rick Santorum was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 2012. He served in the US House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995 and in the US Senate from 1995 to 2007. He is the founder of Patriot Voices, a grassroots community that is committed to promoting faith, family, freedom, and opportunity, and to being a voice for those who often cannot fight for themselves. Rick and Karen, his wife of twenty-two years, are the parents of eight wonderful children: Elizabeth, John, Daniel, Gabriel Michael (deceased), Sarah Maria, Peter, Patrick, and Isabella. Rick is also an accomplished author, having penned the 2005 New York Times bestseller It Takes a Family.
