A lot of people take freedom for granted. They complain about taxes or the U.S. getting involved overseas, but what these people don't realize is that without freedom of speech they couldn't voice their opinion on the government. Even the simple act of getting into a car and driving isn't permitted in some countries without a travel permit. Whether we realize it or not, as Americans, freedom is involved in every activity we do everyday. Now that we realize the importance of freedom let's discuss its price tag.
Freedom is a great thing and it comes at a very expensive cost.
I don't have an exact figure, but it somewhere in the millions. That figure is the number of U.S. soldiers that have died for our freedoms. I thank these brave men and women for ensuring not only my freedoms but the freedoms of every American there ever was and ever will be. It would be impossible to put an actual dollar amount on the price of freedom. Not all the money in the world could compensate for the ultimate price that the fallen American Soldier has paid.
