Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

The Giant Man Child is off to the airport to greet returning troops on this Memorial Day. Not all of us have that opportunity but several blogs such as We are that Family and Ali Edwards have some suggestions to send greetings to the troops.


It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Dick Cheney
