Freedom for a Nation and Its People
U.S. Americans cherish and protect their precious freedom and don’t shy away from traveling far to be with loved ones on that special day. After all, we are a nation of immigrants, of explorers, of travellers. It is in our genes. The waving flags we see in public places and on front porches serve as a “moving” reminder that this country is proud of its achievements.
Freedom is the foundation of everything. Let it ring. The military plays an important role, for American soldiers are considered guardians of this country’s freedom.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. – Elmer Davis
