Patriot Week hosted its Fifth Annual Patrick Henry Event on Thursday, March 22, at the San Marino Club in Troy.

Marty Knollenberg; and Stephen Knollenberg; along with (back row, left to right) Jim Redford; Leah Warren, who presented the speech as Patrick Henry; and Fred Morsell, nationally recognized actor and historian, who delivered the keynote address as Frederick Douglass. “Patriot Week renews the spirit of America by celebrating our founding First Principles, key documents and speeches, founding fathers and other great patriots, and flags from our history,” remarked Judge Warren, co-founder of Patriot Week with his, then 10-year-old, daughter, Leah. “To maintain our liberties, we need to recognize not only the contributions of individuals like Patrick Henry and Frederick Douglass, but also applaud the contributions of modern day patriots like Captain/Director/Judge Jim Redford, Middle Eastern American TV & Radio, and the late Congressman Joe Knollenberg.”
