Freedom

72.58.41.97

In this land occurred the only true revolution in man's history. All other revolutions simply exchanged one ruler for another. Here, for the first time the Founding Fathers - that little band of men so advanced beyond their time that the world has never seen their like since - evolved a government based on the idea that you and I have the God-given right and ability within ourselves to determine our own destiny. Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States to be free.
