Courage and liberty. A courageous people desires more than all things to have liberty. A government established solely to provide its people liberty is based on that understanding. We are far removed from the people we once were. They left homes, native lands and cultures, friends and relatives, mostly because they dreamed of liberty and had the courage to not only pursue it but to make it happen and live under its repercussions.

They understood that the liberty that they desired was a life filled with risk. Yet, they also understood its importance, its value, its necessity for people desiring to live out the life of ones destiny and dreams without the repression of a tyrannical authority.

I think that you are wrong in way though. Freedom and bravery is not something to be discovered. It is something earned by the sacrifice of blood and treasure. I fear that we may no longer be a people willing to do that.

We follow in the footsteps of great people that pledged their lives, their treasure and their sacred honor. They willingly lay them down in the pursuit of creating the land of liberty where the courageous could live their lives of independence, unencumbered by an overbearing government, taking matters unto themselves and creating for themselves and the ones they loved the home that indeed was the a home in which the courageous could live free.
