Freedom to me means that i can got to school each day to get a good education which is a good thing because i can oneday use my education to get a successful career so i can support myself when that time comes for me the only way that we get good education like this is because some veterans sacrificed themselves for the greater good of our country and that made it so we all can live how we want.

In my eyes the declaration of independence holds the answer to the question “what does it mean to be free” america’s founding fathers wrote this in 1776 and in it they put the rights on which our freedom exists. The declaration of independence which contains the freedoms on which America was founded upon holds the answer to the question what does it mean
