Daring Deeds

Life is risk.... Filled with tragedy and rewards!

Quote:

• "For all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these : ' It might have been!'" - John Greenleaf Whittier

From its inception, as a collection of European colonial assets, to its founding - as a Union of Interdependent American States - The United States of America had been blessed with a singularly remarkable people. A people who would dare to achieve greatness, no matter how significant the costs - which ultimately must born. Risk takers, from every corner of the globe, who set sail across stormy and perilous seas - for a land which was both harsh and unforgiving.

Letting go, of all that they knew, they embraced the unknown and chose the path less certain.... They were searching for something better, than, that offered by already existing: civilization, material-wealth, and its resultant societal life - of comfort and ease. They sought, "The Freedom to Pursue Happiness, however it might be found " - knowing full well, how elusive was that most coveted desire!
