Over the past week, we lost two freedom card participants.
Alexander Haig: To me ‘freedom’ is ‘choice,’ my choice of religion, education, home, occupation, political leaders, life style, and even my country, all and more are mine to choose.
The news that Ted Kennedy had cancer came a day before I received his freedom card. Now Ted Kennedy's final battle is over, and he can rest in peace. Ted Kennedy died today at age 77, and as he said in his 1980 Democratic convention speech, "The Dream shall never die."
His card reads:
"Freedom is the essence of America, the opportunity for every American to live the American Dream.”
