“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit 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
“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all of mankind”
“The true meaning of America, you ask? It's in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman's badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper... In all these things, and many more, you'll find America. In all these things, you'll find freedom. And freedom is what America means to the world. And to me.”
Audie Murphy
“What better day to lay the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower than the day our country declared its independence.”
George Pataki
“For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
