Answer:Freedom is the most precious treasure of human beings. But many of us take this for granted because the freedom that we have, the freedom that we use and know, was fiercely fought for, and dearly paid for a very long time ago.

Two hundred and thirty six years ago the Declaration of Independence did not set us free, it stated that we will be free, no matter the cost. For the next decade the most powerful army on earth occupied and devastated our beloved homeland, but could not crush our noble quest. That hellish war, the opposition to oppression, our fight for our God-given rights is called the American Revolution.

Let us never forget, that freedom has never been, nor will it ever be free. It’s worth fighting for, it’s worth dying for. Let us always remember, America is indeed, the land of the free because of the brave.

Because we have freedom, because of our deeply held belief in it, and our unwavering devotion to it, America is the greatest place on earth. Our forward-looking, upward-reaching philosophy propelled us to do better and to be better.

We believe in justice and the right to it. We believe in goodness and the might of it. There’s a challenge, courage, joy and pride in it. We extend a helping hand and give words of cheer. Hope, faith and patriotism are very dear to us. Here freedom for mankind is very clear. We are the United States of America.
