Random thoughts about our Freedom

See the source image





This is only a statue representing what the meaning of today is about.   I was caught when I saw the words at the base.

The men who fought for our freedom have had bravery that speaks volumes to those who love our land. We must not forget what they did for us. I wish I had more time to list what they gave up for our freedom.

They put their lives on hold for the sake of our nation.
They changed their plans for their futures.
They chose to obey the orders of their superiors.
Some gave their lives that we could have the freedom to live our lives in peace.
