Let Freedom Ring
Today everyone is thinking about the same thing here in the USA. We are remembering. We are mourning. And yet we are celebrating too. Life, Freedom in all things and of course to achieve these things we Sacrifice.
Remember those that have fallen recently and in the past with love. Some died bravely in battle and some died in places they felt the safest. They all deserve the same amount of RESPECT. We are all affected when someone attacks even one of us.
Freedom is a word we often take for granted but take a moment today and apply that word to your life.
What does it mean to you? How does it affect you daily?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson
I read history. I know the cost of our freedom from generations who fought and died for it. When I think of those who died to protect freedom, the words of Abraham Lincoln make such good sense....
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
Top that peeps!
Wowsa. Amazing, simply amazing. I don't think I could top that if I had three boobs and access to a my own cable news camera.
Not possible...
I think bluemarsupial is wrong. Three boobs would totally top anything.

Being ex-military bot enlisted and as an officer I really feel for those who have to serve and are forced to continue service. I also have an issue with how the word freedom is tossed around with such a broad definition. Thinks for remembering.
Is that some sort of Abe Lincoln speech we were supposed to memorize in high school??
Yah, I think I was absent that day.
