Nathan Hale

Nathan Hale (June 6, 1755 – September 22, 1776) is a soldier for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.

He volunteers for an intelligence-gathering mission in New York City but is captured by the British.

He is probably best remembered for his purported last words before being hanged: "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

Hale has long been considered an American hero and, in 1985, he was officially designated the state hero of Connecticut.
