I Can Not Speak To Sacrifice

I can not speak of freedom's struggle to thee, for I have always been free: you gave that right to me. I can not speak of hard task master's laborious ruin, for I have known none. I can not speak of blood guts and tears shed to defend the freedom that I hold dear, nor to loves selfless sacrifice of laying your life on the line so that I might live mine. I cannot speak to the haunting sorrow of brothers who on foreign sands bravely made freedoms stand, and who bleed and died that our flag could still fly. But this I vow to thee never to forget freedoms high price you paid for me and to always honor thee by living free.
