My name is Patrick Henry Sellers and, yes, that is my real name. As much as I like the association my name has with the famous Virginian, my parents were not all that concerned with history. I got the name Patrick from my mother's Irish ancestry and born close to St. Patrick's Day, while Henry was my father's middle name. Not surprisingly, perhaps, Patrick Henry became my favorite Founding Father, and I share not only his name, but also his vision. The connection inspires me to live up to the name in the hopes that like him, I may rally my countrymen to the cause of liberty.
