And as we celebrate our freedom, Iraqi citizens are celebration the hope of freedom for themselves, too. It will not come easily, any more than our nation's freedom came easily, but if htey have the commitment and desire, as our forefathers did, they, too, now have the chance to join the world of free peoples.
Thanks to the brave men and women of our military forces, who have not only assured our own freedoms for these two hundred plus years, but who have sacrificed themselves for freedom of many other people throughout the world.
You're right, it's a good time to remember and celebrate our freedom, and give thanks for those who were willing to pay the ultimate price to gain and keep it for us.
Thanks for that reminder, Coug. |
