Live Free or Die!
June 6, 2010 No CommentsOur second state of the morning, and we haven’t even had coffee!
Did you know that New Hampshire’s state motto is “Live Free or Die” as once voiced by General John Stark, the state’s most distinguished hero of the Revolutionary War.
When they decided on their motto, it beat out “There’s nothing left . . . but to get drunk” by a couple of votes. Voiced by native son President Franklin Pierce, it had to be a little bit of a blow to Pierce fans. On the other hand, its also understandable given that he is frequently referred to as the worst president .. ever… And that’s saying something.
Day 1, Did you know?
