A very happy 257th birthday to our beloved Nathan!

Nathan Hale
June 6, 1755 - September 22, 1776

Nathan was executed by the British after volunteering to gather information for General Washington in order to determine the site of the British invasion of Manhattan. Before his death, he is most commonly said to have declared:

“I only regret that I have but one life to live for my country.”
