Every year, we grow older, and with age, we do get more freedom.
Here, I lift a line straight out of Spiderman, modify it to my
convenience and say “With great freedom, comes great
responsibility”. The responsibility here means to consider “how my
decisions would affect others”. It is an honorable remembrance to
remind all generations to come, perhaps until the end of the world.
The relentless struggle of our forefathers with millions of peoples of
self-respect and dignity were dragged through public humiliation,
unjustifiable prison time, racial discrimination, brutality and killing
by the oppressors.Hence, it is important to remember that day every
day and celebrate it each year. I salute our troops and finally say,
with tears in my eyes, that Independence Day and Veterans Day are
important to remind ourselves that many people , out there on this
day lost his/her life for us.And for the kind of freedom I was born
with, that I enjoy today and take so much for granted, but for which
so much blood was shed, I salute my Motherland and all those
responsible for giving me this kind of freedom. As much as I realize I
can never feel the way they felt, I am grateful for this legacy they have
handed down.
“Freedom in the mind, faith in the words, pride in our hearts, and
memories in our souls, lets salute the Nation.”
