The fight ain't over yet. We have to keep it free for our future generations that will never be taught about the struggles that have allowed us to enjoy these freedoms.

Agreed...... Which is why after 6 years as a soldier, and 15 years as a professional firefighter, I went back to college and now teach U.S. History to High School and Jr. College students. Plenty of people are telling the story, we just have to make sure it is the true and accurate story that our students are learning!
