However, I fully agree that our freedom was handed to us on a silver platter and no one but the ones who fought for it deserve that freedom, but, in a nutshell I think Taurean said it all. :)lolitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435153158572569430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-2143359271036418602008-09-04T09:23:00.000-04:002008-09-04T09:23:00.000-04:00I feel really grateful for the young men who died ...I feel really grateful for the young men who died on D-Day that gave me the freedom to live in the U.S. Many people believe the lives lost on D-Day were in vain but I disagree. If it wasn’t for the Americans taking over Normandy the Axis could have caused many more casualties and the Nazi regime could have wiped out the Jewish religion from Earth. With the many lives lost during WWII Americans should appreciate the veterans who fought for our country. Sadly more than half of the homeless are veterans whom built this country. D-Day shall not be forgotten.joeyohweohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456223949519073672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-65660571392048209702008-09-03T23:57:00.000-04:002008-09-03T23:57:00.000-04:00Our generation and future generations to come owe ...Our generation and future generations to come owe these men, who faught for our freedom, a lot more than anyone can give. It is a debt that is unpayable. Just think of these men when you walk the streets of our free country.

It bothers me also to be in a generation that I don't feel totally deserve the freedom we enjoy. Our Ancestors did fight and pave teh way for us to have a better life. However, I don't agree that simply 'living' in the world provided by those before us is enough to satisfy and fulfill ourselves, nor those that gave so much so we can be better off. We owe it to ourselves and those that made our lives possible to take on the accountability and responsibility of participating in our great country, not just participating in our own seperate lives. Even if that means something as simple as taking time to reflect on how grateful we should be for the actions our ancestors took in establishing the foundation we all benefit from in being Americans, or just living in the United States.TaureanWonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211542364426710765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-29044780470759236152008-08-10T18:53:00.000-04:002008-08-10T18:53:00.000-04:00Γεια σου Μαρια!Ηταν πραγματι ωραιο ταξιδι,και για ...Γεια σου Μαρια!<BR/>Ηταν πραγματι ωραιο ταξιδι,και για μενα ιδιαιτερα συγκινητικο.
