Freedom Quotes

"O, thus be it ever when freeman shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer must, when our cause is just,
And this is our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Francis Scott Key - War of 1812

"Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know
When he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when afraid;
One who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
And humble and gentle in victory."

General Douglas MacArthur

"There is no greater sacrifice
Nor noble deed of service
Than to lay down one's life
For the security of another."

Kelly Cross Oakes - Operation American Soldier
