A Narrative Walk Through Freedom
As I was walking through an art museum, admiring all the fine pieces of artwork, I came across a large framed photograph that made me stop dead in my tracks. The photograph was of a solider dressed clean in his uniform and holding an American flag.
The portrait was black and white except for the red, white, and blue of flag making it stand out and capture your attention. My focus was not on the bright and beautiful symbol of our United States but on the solider.

His face was bore the wounds of a thousand battles, but still he smiled. The photograph symbolized all the amazing sacrifices our armed men and women go through to protect our freedoms. Then I realized without them we as a country would not know what true sacrifice is. I think of that photograph every day and I am able to be thankful for everything in my life.
