To the unknown soldier we keep you in our heart
we know you gave your life how great thou art
Leading us across the sea
You will succeed and have a victory
Challenges you face every single day
We say prayers to protect clay
The battles waiting to be won
all that you do under the sun
We pray for peace to happen today
we acknowledge there service
and commitment to our country dear
three hundred and sixty five days a year

To me, freedom means the right to choose. I can choose my friends, my actions, my life.
I can decide what I want to be when I grow up or where I might want to live. If all of those brave men and women hadn't fought for us in war, who knows where America would be today.
Freedom is something many, many people take for granted, even me. In some countries, people dream about freedom. They wish for it, too.
That's why we should thank all the brave men and women who've risked their lives and lost their lives, because without them, freedom would only be a dream for us, too, and not the reality it is today. So thank you to all who have seen war. Because of you, I have freedom, my family has freedom, and the country has freedom.

Do you know what freedom means to me? It means that I can do what I want in my country because veterans fought for my freedom and independence in the Revolu-tionary War.
Because of them we live in a country that is free. We can choose where we want to learn our own religion. We can express our feelings and not get in trouble for it. If we didn't have these freedoms, what do you think America would be like? What if we didn't have courageous people to fight for us like in World Wars I and II? Probably half of our population would be wiped out.
That means many families would be afraid to leave their homes in case they got hurt or even killed. Every night we would lay awake, wondering if this would be our last night. We don't have to worry, though. We have troops fighting for us at this very moment in Iraq. If someone said, "Who cares about freedom," what would you say? Would you go along with that person, or would you be the one to stand above the crowd and say, "I care about freedom, because of freedom, we can do what we want each day living freely, with no worries." Think about it. Freedom is a very special gift in our country that not many countries have. We are lucky to be free. Thanks to all the veterans and troops who made the ultimate sacrifice. America truly is the land of the free.
