Independence, Freedom, Liberty.....

Wishing you all a most beautiful & blessed Independence Day weekend! 


Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.  ~Dwight D. Eisenhower


It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.  ~Author unknown, sometimes attributed to M. Grundler


Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
~John Dickinson

My God!  How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!  ~Thomas Jefferson



And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood


Freedom is never free.  ~Author Unknown
