A grateful nation.  Freedom is never free.  It is hard won and must be ever guarded.  In Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, God said remember where you came from.  Remember my promises.  Remember how I rescued you from slavery.  Remember.  Remember and teach your children.  Tell them in songs.  Write it on your walls.  Don’t ever forget because if you do your children will never know and who will be there to tell their children.  When you forget your hard fought battles it will seem unimportant and what you gained you will lose.
