Thought I'd link to this old post -
Happy 4th of July (2014).
The links to these recommended resources still work.
It may be easy to take freedom for granted; Learning about the history, efforts, and costs of securing freedom may help increase the next generation's appreciation for freedom.
As shared in this
old post:
One definition of "free" refers to things being without cost at point of service.
Another definition of "free" refers to people being self-determining, unhindered by law or regulation; liberty.
There may be an ironic balance in that getting more "free" stuff often comes with a tradeoff of being less "free" as an increasing number of life-decisions may be made for a person by an outside entity.
There is a fine balance, beyond which a tipping point exists: if given a choice, which form of "free" do you prefer?
