“Freedom
isn’t free!” Those song lyrics from long ago are true - and a great reason to
celebrate freedom and learn from our past! This July 4th as we celebrate, let
us reflect on the many privileges afforded us from living in a free country. Even
when things seem to close in on us – the freedom to stand for what is right and
support the constitution, is still ours. We are also free in America to be able
to worship God, have a garden, store food and money for a rainy day, and set
aside supplies for surprise disasters. In some countries it is illegal to “hoard”
food (which is really having food storage.) We are truly a blessed nation. We also
celebrate our pioneers this month. This offers us another opportunity to learn
from those who have gone before us and emulate their example in our
preparedness efforts. The patriots and pioneers who paved the way for our way
of life today, should never be forgotten. And a great way we can remember, is
to use our freedom to Be Prepared!
