Went there last summer to see the speach. They do it every Sunday at like
2pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Pretty cool thing to watch. Then we go have a burger and beers at Station 2, cool burger joint on Main St.

ding, ding, ding, correct!
PH gave the speech in St. John’s Church in Richmond on March 23, 1775 PH became the governor of Virginia a year later in 1776. St. Johns remains an active Episcopal church to the present day, more than 250 years after PH’s famous speech.

If he gave that speech extemporaneously, it was awesome
I had a Sunday message pointing the Biblical references.
