Mel Gibson's movie Braveheart tells a story of a man whose greatest wish is freedom - freedom from a political system which has held in its grasp the lives and spirit of an entire country. One of the most memorable lines in the movie is William Wallace's last word - "Freedom!"
The United States was founded for that same purpose - freedom from inequality and lives free to worship as we choose. As a nation, we have fought to ensure that right.
Some of our children are facing a different battle, however, and on Independece Day three were freed from the disease which tried to break their spirits. Caleb Crosby, Kelly-Anne Bouchard and Max Lacewell have been released. They joined Morgan Pritchett and Kira Cundiff, who passed only days before and helped to welcome Zac Talley on the 8th.
