Gift of Freedom

Freedom, what a wonderful word. It is probably one of the most valued and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. It is something that many take for granted yet many have died for. Freedom is that intangible quality that is native to citizens of this great nation. For centuries America has been the torch bearer of freedom for the world. On the base of the Statue of Liberty you will find the words: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me . . .” The gift of freedom has been shared all around the world by this great nation. That gift has been paid for countless times with the blood of soldiers . . . American soldiers. It has always been the soldier who has paid the greatest cost for our freedom.

FreedomSong exists for two reasons. One is to honor those who have given so much that we might be free and to honor their sacrifice by calling America back to the standards and beliefs that this country was founded upon. The other is to introduce you to one specific soldier who paid the final cost for that gift of freedom. However, there is something very special about this soldier. Not only was he the first one to give his life for you, his sacrifice has provided life and freedom for people in every nation on earth. He was there in the cold desperate days with General George Washington at Valley Forge and he is still with us today. If you would like to learn more about him click the button below.
