{freedom}

tshirt


Patty's flag reminds me of the gift of freedom we have in our country


freedom i often take for granted...like wearing a shirt of my choosing


or gifting 300 of these tees to kids in Alaska


but in 52 countries, wearing this shirt is illegal


whenever i need a reality check...a reminder of my freedom


i visit this website


and i am humbled


and i instantly envision American soldiers fighting for me (some before i was even born!)


so that i can wear this simple t-shirt


without fear of a fine, arrest, imprisonment or death


we are not without problems in our country


but


we


are


FREE

Yes, complain as everyone loves to, with the smallest amount of world travel it becomes apparent just how lucky we are. This was really lovely. :)

Ah, the freedoms we take for granted because we haven't had to personally sacrifice for them. However, with two current family members fighting for our freedom and those without, it brings it closer to home. Thank you for your lovely post.
