F is for Freedom



Here are some quotes I found while looking online under "freedom". As I read these quotes and others, I realized that I take my freedom for granted so much.I hope these tidbits (and those you can find at the links on the bottom of this post) remind you too of our precious freedom, given to us by our forefathers,and put into our trust to keep passing down.
