Celebrating Patriots
A number of dignitaries from the bench and bar were on hand for the 13th Annual Patrick Henry Event on March 12 at the San Marino Club in Troy. The event, spearheaded by Oakland County Circuit Judge Michael Warren, commemorated the anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death” speech that was a rallying cry for the American Revolution. This year’s event honorees were U.S. Senator Gary Peters and Detroit News Editorial Page Editor Nolan Finley.
