Because he went on a dangerous mission so that America could be free.

He got caught by the British, but before he was hung he said that he only regreted he only had one life to give for his country. So if he had a second chance at life, he would go on more dangerous missions if it meant freedom for his country.

"And because that boy said those words, and because he died, thousands of other young men have given their lives to his country. ---Edward Everett Hale, great-nephew of Nathan Hale

"Hale is in the American pantheon not because of what he did but because of why he did it. Nathan Hale spied on the British because the general's tent was right next to his schoolhouse. On his way back to the Continental Army, the British broke into his school house and attacked him." -Former CIA chief Richard Helms
