So I spend a good number of years on a Submarine, who’s motto is, “Defender of Freedom”. I’ve always felt that I was one of those defenders, as a member of her crew. Every meal you would be reminded of the fact as you entered the Galley and saw those words.
I struggle and worry that in America, a place that apparently cherishes Freedom, that there is a segment of the people who don’t wish others to be free.
I find it sad that there are some who would use religion to base our guiding principles, rather than the documents that formed this great nation.

We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
