Life’s Price!

            My morals are filled with joy and satisfaction at the sight of my beloved country [America]! Though there have been many hardships that are solid in mind to this very day. My two oldest sons’ have died during the war period from a ruthless redcoat general. In my point of view though is not to fight war for honor but to fight for your beliefs. While traveling through the Virginian forests with my fellow militia I applied this to the guerrilla techniques I used to gradually wear down the Redcoat roamers. My destiny towards the end of the war was that my family would live a happy, peaceful life without those damn redcoats interfering; making my family suffer painful hardships physically and mentally. The rest of my family is having a joyful time in our independent country and I believe that if my two sons were here they would be enjoying life with us too! Though my children enjoy freedom I take life as seriously as possible in grief as I remember the death of my sons. So has liberty made up for my depressing losses of life? Probably my answer would be yes as I going to risk my life for my children’s future and my son’s bravely fought to risk their life for something greater than their own gain! For they fought for someone else’s gain and that was America; the new world of a new beginning were people live with peace and freedom. If it wasn’t for my two brave sons I probably would have never been part of this revolution thus losing the war with many lost lives. *Begins to cry* I am so proud of them [my sons] as only wish they were here right besides me to experience these glorious times of freedom and liberty!
