"Nothing you own,

Far too many Americans fail to comprehend that freedom is not really a right.
Freedom is a privilege that is regularly tested and must be earned over and over.

KLP, It was a long time ago, but my family also visited the places you have been to. Being there helps a person know what the birth of a nation really is. The people of the colonies were self reliant people that were willing to fight for freedom. With such a goal, they defeated an army much larger, and better armed, than they were. It was the dream that they felt in their hearts that gave them the courage to do what had to be done.

That same courage, and sense of duty, is still alive in the bulk of our military. I don't say "all" because there are some whiners that joined the military, but were not sincere in their oath.
