"Freedom Is Not Free"

... Why we believe so much in America...."A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many people want in... And how many want out."...... Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: ... 1. Jesus Christ ... 2. The American G. I. ... One died for our soul, the other for our freedom!! ...........
