I really enjoyed going to the national cemetery this morning to see the changing of the guards at the tomb of the un-known soldier. It was a very Solemn ceremony that changed everyone's perspectives on freedom, and made us all reflect on what it means to be an American. Everyday we wake up, we are free. We are free to say what we want, worship what we want, love who we want, and are titled to many other freedoms. What we tend to forget is all the people who have died to give us these freedoms. Seeing all the graves was just astonishing. It was hard to wrap my mind around the fact that at each grave rest an individual person who died for my freedom. Nobody will forget those who died for us, and we must all remember that freedom isn't in fact free.
