Happy birthday USA
As we approach the celebration of our independence, let us give pause and reflect upon what the few have given so the many may live freely! If you take the time and think about all the brave men and women who have given their lives for us all,pause and realize the things they missed. Growing old with their loved ones, playing catch with the kids and grand kids, comforting their family in times of need, taking care of the people they loved and the list goes on and on, of what they missed for us.
And to the people of Iraq, I hope you understand what the brave men and women are giving to you. The opportunity to live free! And these soldiers will give their lives for you to live free! How precious is freedom? Precious enough for young men and women to offer up their future in exchange for some unknown people in a foreign land's search for freedom. This is a very difficult concept to grasp. I hope you all will take the time and pay homage to those great persons who have offered up their lifes blood that we may walk freely!
