Why did so many East Germans risk their lives digging tunnels under the Berlin Wall, climbing over it with ropes, flying over it in hot air balloons, and ramming it with trucks?
Why did thousands of Vietnamese cram like sardines into leaky wooden boats with rebuilt engines to flee their country after the fall of Saigon?
Indeed, why have millions of people from every corner of the world flocked to the United States of America?
Freedom. These people valued liberty more than their own lives. Their tyrannical governments could not extinguish the flame of liberty that they carried in their hearts.
Are we willing to risk our lives for the cause of freedom? Or will we sit back and watch as tyrannical leaders attempt to steal our God-given unalienable rights?
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" --Patrick Henry
