It saddens me that those who take this freedom for granted rarely have to pay, and that those who treasure it have to pay the ultimate price.

Hide behind your ideals. The rest of us will fight so that you wont be killed for holding them.

And one last thought:
"people rowing the boat rarely have time to rock it."

As I read the comments below, only one saddens me the most. The one of a "supposed" former Marine. I do not know if he is or isn't, so I'll leave it at that. If he was a Marine then he'd know that people have different ways of supporting us troops. Instead of condeming those that do not understand, he should have shown how to understand it, shown people how to grasp the concept instead of going around and ranting about the people being wrong. I expected more from a Marine, but like every organization there's always "That one".

Your piece is very well done in my opinion. You present your point very well. I hope to see more. Keep it up

In the USA die over 10.000 People by handfire weapons. Innocent children, students, parents. and still they allow everyone to arm with them. God bless America... idiots.

A powerful piece, and a true reflection of the world we live in. You might want to take a look at my piece "Psalter's Flag". My prayer is that there is a way from your flag to mine.

Keep working, Nate. you are a Genius!

Too bad you don't know how to display your own countrys flag!
Your description says that you are 'fighting for my ideals', so I won't be killed for holding them. Oh really? What kind of b.s. is that? Where are you doing this fighting? The comfort of your computer?

Actually freedom IS free. Freedom can only be taken away, not given. You don't GIVE people freedom. They already have it. Stop acting like you OWN the idea of freedom.
And freedom isn't simply bought with blood. Killing is not the only way to preserve freedom. You actually have to practice freedom, to have it. But what you would you know about it?
You sit around making your cute little flag pictures, when you could instead be serving in the Marines, like I did. (8 years, you're welcome.)
Then, when you pretend that you know what the price of freedom is, you could speak with some authority on the subject, and maybe you would see that your little flag piece is jingoistic propoganda. But hey, free speech! I mean I actually DID serve so that you could have all the benefits of being a U.S. citizen. I didn't serve so that you could wrap yourself in the flag and look down your nose at people for having something that was theirs all along.
And I get that you are happy to be free, but don't try to come off as somebody who worked to make us that way, which what I get from your description.
People who make cute little propoganda pieces rarely have time to enlist...

Semper Fi.

Your full of shit. The cost of freedom is not paid to option that freedom it is to preserve and the protect it. An as for your last comment. I make them all the time, and I can't, I'm a 4F so don't make assumptions pal. If I wasn't you can bet you ass that I would be there just like every man of my family as far back as is traceable. and trust me I can trace my blood back to Adam himself.

The cost of true freedom is the cost of ignorance, hatred and pride, and the cost is paid in blood and innocence would you rather be it your adversaries of that of you and your children?
