What do the freedoms we enjoy in the United States mean to you? Which ones do you hold dear?
What rights do you want to exercise because you have the freedom to do so?
How would you feel if the freedom and these rights were taken from you?
Have the United States citizens maintained the values the brave men and women died for in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East, so that they did not die in vain?
How do you think the soldier who died for your rights would feel about the way you're using them?

Gail, thanks for asking for our comments. I have read both of your stories you offer.
In these troubled times, the idea of our freedom is more important than ever. Not just from foreign soils, but from within. You have no idea how distraught I am to see people abusing veterans, defiling our flag and the media and Hollywood lying to us all.
I just wrote my first historical fiction loosely based on my parents just after WWII. I had to write for my dad's military records because he couldn't talk about the horror he went through. Many men couldn't. We have forgotten what they suffered for us--those there and those left at home.
Hi Larry,
Thanks for leaving your personal comments and adding to our tribute for those who died for our freedom. We all need to remember the sacrifice they made.
Hi Cindy, Thank you for coming by to comment and thank you for writing a historical fiction based on your parents just after WWII. We need a record of the things they fought to uphold and the price they paid to do it.
I know. My father was also in the Philippines and contracted an illness, one that doctors here weren't familiar with and couldn't help. He finally received help from a physician who had served in the Philippines, but there was only so much he could do, and my father also suffered for the rest of his life.
You bet. Thank you for stopping by.
