JULY & AUGUST 2010
Is anyone else tired of the media (and most everyone else) focusing on the negative aspects of life in America today? What about the things that make America great---freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to carry a weapon and defend one's self, pursuit of happiness, equality, the right to vote, etc. Whether or not you agree with the war, remember these freedoms come at a price. You do not have to support the war to support our soldiers though. Our military personnel willingly choose to defend their country (and fight to protect all of us) knowing the sacrifices that might have to be made, and they fight everyday for the freedoms we take for granted. It sickens many Christians to hear of our troops being disrespected (ex: being spat on while walking through airports and war protests at their funerals). America's freedoms are luxuries, bought and paid for with sacrifice, dedication, sweat and blood.
So, long after the smoke from fireworks has cleared and the echo of "The Star-Spangled Banner" has stopped ringing in your ears, the fight for your freedom continues. . .
