We must remember that men (and women) died to give us the freedoms that we can so casually take for granted. And fortunately we still have heroes willing to die today for the rest of us.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15-13.
We must all fight in the political realm to preserve those liberties that our honored dead earned for us with their blood and their lives; that we not give away with our apathy what their total devotion won for us.
