National Freedom Day

Posted on February 1, 2025 by Cathy Burnham Martin

We all know that freedom is not free, for there remain people with ideologies who would take it from us. For National Freedom Day, I look at comments from two people who worked hard to protect and preserve our freedoms. Our deepest gratitude to all who have served our nation.

 

“History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.”

— Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
34th President of the United States
Five-star US Army General
World War II Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force

 

“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he is vigilant in its preservation.”

— Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)
United States General of the Army
Served in WWI, WWII, and Korean Conflict
Headed the United Nations Command in Korea
