Thank you George, well said indeed. Here are afew more quotes to enhance our 4th of July celebrations:

"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the sprit 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" Dwight David Eisenhower

"Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have" Fearless Fosdick
