What Does Freedom Mean to You?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. 

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. 

It must be fought for, protected, 

and handed on for them to do the same."

 Ronald Reagan

"It is easy to take liberty for granted, 

when you have never had it taken from you."

Author Unknown 

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, 

must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."

 Thomas Paine

"Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."

George Washington

I thought these quotes interesting - they are a reminder that freedom isn't free, 
nor does it happen by accident. 

The older I get, the more I appreciate what we have here. 

Freedom to live, to speak, to worship.  

May we never take it for granted.

What does freedom mean to you? Happy Independence Day!

Have a great week,
