He fights...
to defend her freedom to protest(Seattle, Washington)
I hope everyone had a wonderful day enjoying time with family and friends, and taking a moment out of their day to be thankful for the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. I reflected on this today as I met an Iranian-born saleswoman who apologized for being distracted. She said the recent events in Iran have left her frazzled. The constant worrying over the safety of friends and family has meant many sleepless nights for her.
This was one of those moments where I had to pause in my busy day and ponder on the many freedoms I enjoy and take for granted. The rights and freedoms we enjoy in North America many people in other parts of the world are dying for even a small portion.
So today I'd like to send a bouquet of gratitude to our army, navy, airforce, police and firefighters who risk their lives on a daily basis to defend and protect those freedoms.

That is a nice way to say it: "A bouquet of gratitude", and there are indeed a number of people whose jobs keep us safe and free.
Make that another bouguet from me.
You said it so well!
I have to say that i have been at antiwar rallies and on the opposite side were the veterans...screaming at us. They seemed to forget they made it possible for us to rally and get mad at our sentiments.
