Would you give up yours?





This is a question I have recently heard. I should say a quote. It gave me alot to think of. One of the many men who helped to make our country. He does have many quotes which leaves you thinking. But, this has been with me for quiet a while now. I do hope it gives you as much.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin

I'm unsure about you but I enjoy and want to keep my Liberty! It's something which so many men and women have died for us to have. I pray for us to keep.

I have often thought...would I have the courage to stand up as so many of our founding fathers had? Would I be willing to loose my home, everything I own...but above all my life to say We have Liberty?

My husband was willing to die for it. My son is. (Both being USMC). We often as mother's say leave my children alone, and are willing to fight as a bear to keep them and our homes safe. But are we willing to stand up to those in our country, towns and such to say "leave our Liberty's free!" As the flag says "Don't tread on me", have we forgotten what it was like to have someone tell you when and what you would do?

Please take some time to think of what our country men have gone thru for us. Would you give up yours?
