I was determined to achieve the total freedom that our history lessons taught us we were entitled to, no matter what the sacrifice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I made my own assessment of my life, and I began to live it. That was freedom.
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
I had fought for my independence and fought for my freedom to do as I chose.
Even now, we make no apologies for the choice we made. The sacrifices we made were selfless. The options we offered were patriotic while the paths we chose were well thought out.
Freedom was the desire of our people throughout centuries. Freedom enabled our people to be owners of their destiny.
If you choose to do something, then you shouldn't say it's a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it.
I wanted to fight in the Iraq war because I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression.
History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.
I have long believed that sacrifice is the pinnacle of patriotism.
I made sacrifices willingly; it was what I did best.
