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.

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.

What better day to lay the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower than the day our country declared its independence.

I will rather b a poor brave man than being a rich coward

Bravery itself is freedom......God bless America

Breathes there the man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'd From wandering on a foreign strand?
