Respect Captain America (Earth 616)

##Respect Captain America

---

The strength of this country isn't in the buildings of brick and steel. It's in the hearts of those who have sworn to fight for its freedom against any foe--no matter how great the odds! You take away my muscle, Skull, but you will never take my strength.
