Freedom. One word but yet countless words could never capture it’s true meaning or power.

“For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.”

I read that once and it couldn’t be more true. It’s not the average American’s fault that he or she is “blind and deaf” to the taste of freedom. Most American’s are born into their God given right so it is all they ever know. I was once one of them. I would even dare to say that it isn’t surprising that they take for granted what they have had all their life. My experiences in the military however opened my eyes to the truth.
