The spirit of the American people was born in revolution as they rebelled and fought tyranny and injustice. They fought to have a nation of free people, for the free people and a government by the free people.

Today 234 years later, over 1.3 million American military men and women have lost their lives as the nation struggled and fought in wars and conflicts, to hold, secure and protect the hard earned gift of freedom.

This spirit of the American people will continue to persevere as long as the precious dream of liberty and freedom persists in their hearts.
