This video honors the lives of those whom we lost in the year 2006 and
also pays tribute to those who payed the price for our freedoms and
rights in years past.
Absolutely Beautiful, Tribute. Love the choice   more...in music!
Excellent combination of imagery and musical selection.  less

During the hard-fought Haitian Revolution, which occurred roughly a
decade after the U.S. Revolution, the government of George
Washington, which talked about 'liberty to all men', entered the conflict,
but   more...not on the side of liberty. The Washington Administration authorized
the grant of $400,000 — a vast sum in the 1800s — not to support the
forces of freedom, but to the white planters. They sent money to the
French for arms and food to support their resistance to the uprising.
America's secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, writer of the
Constitution, did the actual paperwork. When it came to slavery or
freedom, the Americans, slaveowners themselves, chose slavery to
support.  less
