Sentence:  I've grown very tired of everyone saying "freedom isn't free". The reason is, well, it's because I don't know where it came from and quite frankly, I think that some guy named Sal could be responsible, like maybe he started the whole thing after one too many beers at a picnic a few years back and all of a sudden it's become our unofficial national "freedom" slogan and it's in our songs and on our bumper stickers and tee shirts and it causes us all to get a little <WSD>verklempt</WSD>, like we're supposed to somehow "get it" if we "say it". 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  Overcome with emotion, choked up.
