FREEDOM

[free-duh m]

The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be frought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again."

   -Ronald Reagan
