It is the day to honor the hero that made freedom for all happen! True Freedom, that made our country what it is! Don’t let anyone tell you that we are not free! Lincoln practiced the principles of the Constitution and when he put his hand on the Bible, he really meant it! True to heart. In order to honor those that keep our flag flying high, there is a lot of responsibility that goes along with keeping freedom ringing in each and every American’s life! Just like in those days, Every American is so special–every generation–for each second, minute and hour. Keep the flag for what it stands for. . .Be proud to be an American! And my prayer of thanks to Mr. President Lincoln. The legacy lives on and on. . .

Every day ALL Americans have the asset of having more freedom than any other country in the world.
