Is Freedom Really Free? (Memorial Day Video Tribute)

Is freedom really free? Freedom exists because there have been so many throughout our history who have sacrificed all to protect our freedom. I'm posting one of my favorite Memorial Day Tribute videos. It is all the more powerful because it is silent except for the music. The message is simple, but powerful: Honor, Sacrifice, Freedom Is Not Free, and We Should Never Forget.

 

Many Americans have begun their holiday weekend already, today. And I wish all a safe and happy Memorial Day holiday. But in the spirit of remembering why we have this long weekend holiday in the first place, please take a minute to watch this video to and to remember and honor those who gave their lives for our great country, as well as to remember that freedom is not free.

 

 

 

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

                                                                                                          George S. Patton

                                                                                                   

"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women."

 

Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981

 

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."

 

                             Joseph Campbell

 

 

Let us observe this Memorial Day Weekend in memory of many... in honor of all. Thank you to all who have sacrificed for our freedom.
