There Will Be Freedom

Aug 26th

This post is a tribute to those who died in the long road for freedom. To those who wanted the dirt off. To those who sacrificed their lives for us. And last but not least, to those who still have their hands in cuffs.
We will remember you, now and forever.

I can see the day the pain’s gone away. There is shine in people’s eyes, smile on their faces. They now understand what a valuable piece of blessing Freedom is. They don’t take it for granted anymore. They know that they must work hard to keep it. I can see that day, I can feel it.

The last part goes to some very touching quotes from the movie “Valkyrie“.

1. Stauffenberg: Do you know how this war will end, Lieutenant?
The portrait will be unhung, and the man will be hung.

2. Henning: Well, we have to show the world, that not all of us were like him.

3. Ervin Von Witzleben: You may hand us over to the executioner, but in three months’ time, the disgusted and hurried people will bring you to book and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets.

You did not bear the shame, you resisted, sacrificing your life for freedom, justice and honor.
-From the German resistance memorial, Berlin
