Favorite Quote:

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle for too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing, and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended by each generation. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again." --Ronald Reagan
