You are strong when all your children learn to read and write<\/p>\n
You are strong when every woman can choose to marry the man\u00a0 she marries<\/p>\n
You are strong when historians are free to learn and teach in your universities and schools<\/p>\n
You are free when each and every citizen has the right to choose their religion, or not<\/p>\n
You are free when you build infrastructure rather than destroy<\/p>\n
You are free when you don’t steal to enrich yourself<\/p>\n
You are free when your every decision is based on empathy<\/p>\n
You are free when you do not see an army as an extension of your own caprice<\/p>\n
But most of all you are free when we can look from you to the people and back and see no dissension and no differences in shared goals and community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
