Freedom Quote by Theresa D
“Our woman cried as the bullets fly. Our soldiers died in the mist of the night. We came with a dream to be free. we never gave and yet we still struggle to be equal. Please do tell me it wasn't a waste of human lives with kids and wives. Did their sacrifice give us a light or did we forget what we were fighting for?”
