As we honor the sacrifi ces of our fallen soldiers this weekend, let’s keep in mind that freedom cannot be defended by arms alone. Each of us has a responsibility to one another to promote what President Franklin D. Roosevelt described as the “Four Freedoms” that hold our society together — the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear. As a colony, we fought for freedom to choose our own destiny independent of rule by a foreign kingdom. As a nation, we fought a civil war to grant freedom to slaves who were treated as property rather than people. We would protest and work legislatively to secure the right to vote for women and minorities, giving them the freedom to choose their leaders in government. We would fi ght across the globe in two world wars to protect our freedom from fascist dictators and restore freedom to those people subjugated by those oppressors. We would go to great lengths into the late 20th century to promote and protect freedom, coming at times close to a nuclear holocaust with the Soviet Union, our communist rival that eventually collapsed when its own people desired to be free. Th e United States has always been a nation dedicated to freedom. Our reputation as defenders of freedom has helped welcome in generations of people from every corner of the globe. Th is isn’t just the land of opportunity for the world; this is the place where they can be who they want to be. We must ensure that our elected offi cials protect our freedom to speak, to think, to worship and to assemble — and that they never go out of their way to deny it to our fellow Americans in any shape or form. Hate and intolerance have no place here, and must be rejected always. We must advocate that the government we elect defends our freedom to pursue the lives we want to lead with limited government intrusion — and without creating policies that throw massive fi nancial obstacles to those who cannot aff ord to overcome them. Let us celebrate our nation’s sacrifi ces by doing all that we can to advance the cause of freedom every day here at home — and remind our elected offi - cials that they must do the very same.
