America was created through struggle

This is from North San Diego County (Leucadia)
I can't really do it justice with snips, but I'll offer a couple.

Veterans Day is not enough. One day a year is not enough to honor those who died to keep us free. I wish to remember all those every day who fought for our freedoms.
...
I wish to remember Seymour Hersh, who broke the story of the My Lai massacres; Raymond Bonner, who wrote about the massacres in El Salvador; Gary Webb, who wrote a series for the San Jose Mercury News about drug sales by the Contras under President Ronald Reagan ---- the drugs ended up in Los Angeles. I want to remember all the investigative reporters and writers of letters to editors who keep alive our freedom of speech.
...
And I will surely always remember that while the military has often been called out for the protection of property and freedom of ownership, never in the history of the world has the military been a defender of free speech. Always the military has been a defender or taker of territory.

It is up to citizens to protect, to keep and to enlarge their own freedoms.
