Let Freedom Ring

We are Free and I can't think of a better place to be. We live in one of the most amazing places on this earth and yet we take it for granted. I take for granted that I can go into a coffee shop, sit down with my friends, and have a drink without being blown apart by some radical suicide bomber. A place where my children have the opportunity to be what they want without having restrictions based on classicism and sexism.

We as a nation fight over wrongs and rights, make fun of our president and have become the laughing stock of the world. Other countries view us as arrogant and immoral and quite frankly we have become both. We are continually worried about political correctness and offending something that we have become "One Nation Under Nothing." We have spent some much time worrying about believing everything is okay that we stand for nothing.

So what if we are paying $5.00 a gallon for gas and we might have to adjust our already pampered lifestyles. I say we live in one of the most amazing places on this earth. I can walk down the street and not have to worry about landmines, my babies being murdered before my eyes and watch them grow hungry and impoverished.

I must admit that I am scared. I am scared for what this country is becoming. I am scared for future generations and I am scared that we have forgotten "One Nation Under God" is our anthem.

As you celebrate tomorrow I just ask that you remember all of the lives that are shed for your freedom each day. We seem to forget that while we complain about how much it costs to fill up our $50,000 SUV's.
