Freedom


In celebration of Independence Day, this clip is dedicated to my son Matt and his brave comrades fighting for freedom in Iraq. Please hear these Braveheart quotes from William Wallace on Freedom:
It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.

You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom.

You tell your king that William Wallace will NOT be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live.

Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
Today, I celebrate with fellow Americans the anniversary of the day our forefathers declared freedom from England. I honor the many who have fought, and are yet fighting, for freedom. I pray for God's hand to upon all those who fight for freedom.

  2. Great post KB. I am thankful for Matt and all the others. We are so blessed here. Sure there's a lot to complain about the US, but a million times more to be thankful for.
