"If we wish to be free- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight!" (35, The American Reader).
After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, America set out to prove that it could not be shoved around or put down. We would remain strong and free, and continue the Pursuit of Happiness despite the destruction that has been brought down upon us. Just as our prior Americans in 1776, we fought to keep our rights and country safe in the face of those who wanted to tear our hope and resilience to shreds. While it was difficult for us to gain our freedom, it was also difficult (and still seems to be) for us to fight off those in Afghanistan, but I have no doubt that we will prevail as those before us did. This picture represents the hope and strength in fighting for what we believe in, while America's past itself is a wonderful example as it is.
