What Price
Freedom
The mighty eagle glides
high above
the plain on the barely
moving of air,
symbolizing our hard
won freedom
as he floats unfettered
up there.
Freedom won at Valley
Forge and
New
Orleans
through fierce battles of war.
And later fighting in
Europe and Japan,
showing the world just
who we are.
Now in Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting
to keep terrorism from our
shores,
praying that in the future we'll
have
peace in our country once
more.
True, freedom must
always be guarded
with our vigilance and
our prayers,
lest some enemy comes
from without
or within trying
to take us
unaware.
To be free there must
be sacrifice,
but what are we willing
to pay
for the freedom to
worship our
God
and live The
American Way?
If asked to send our
sons or daughters
into battle where they
might die,
even if it brought
freedom to others,
would we think the
price too high?

Freedom?
