And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!” • He is appealing to the emotions of the people by telling them they will regret not fighting many years from now after the battle is over.
