Freedom

I am thinking back over this years football season. We supported our local Lindale High School, they are the Eagles.

Every Friday night, the lights come on at the stadium. There is always a moment of silence and prayer. Then the national anthem is played by the band as everyone turns towards the flag.

I can't help, at this moment, standing at attention. My chest puffs up in pride and I look intensely at the flag. I am not looking at the flag, but at what it represents. Everyone sings the anthem and as the last words roll out, I can't help but shout out

Freedom

It is what it is all about.
