The New Hampshire state motto, Live Free or Die, is a quote from General John Stark, a New Hampshire native.
In childhood he was captured by Indians, brought to Canada, and later ransomed.
He served in the British Army and was a member of the famed Roger's Rangers.
He later served in the Continental Army as a Brigadier General.
Some find his words disturbing and confrontational.
Here in a state known for its cool/cold climate, we have a paraphrase:
Live, Freeze and Die.

Happy Fourth of July! (55F)
