As Americans, we are blessed to have so many freedoms denied other cultures. Women have a voice. Races are equal in the site of the law. These are things we may take for granted. Though perfection doesn’t exist in America, the power to make a difference and to live a life of our choosing is a luxury provided to us. This freedom was not inherent in our country, however. Men and women fought and died in the hopes that generations to come would have opportunities they didn’t.
