“On the Tenth Day of Christmas,
Our Soldiers Gave to Us . . .

Liberty!!

America was founded on liberty – the freedom for citizens to live as they wanted. Freedom, the natural state of humankind.

American troops have freed millions held by dictators, murderous thugs such as Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

Troops first gave America her freedom. Our Founding Fathers knew their struggle would end in death for many. But they were willing to face death for liberty.

“There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty,” John Adams said.



The world has not always seen the reasons for America wanting to give freedom to others. Our soldiers selflessly give of their own lives to free those who have been repressed, beaten, tortured, and held in prisons.

“We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom,” Dwight D. Eisenhower said.

America recognized in herself when she had withheld liberty for all citizens. The pain of the Civil War ultimately gave that freedom, a war that threatened the very soul of America. But America is not America without liberty.

“The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act, as the destroyer of liberty,” Abraham Lincoln said. “Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference prevails today among human creatures.”

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas
our troops gave to us . . .


These Marines show that they remember
WHY
they are fighting the radical Jihadists.

Safety from Terrorists!!!

Following the brutal and cowardly attacks of Sept.11, 2001, men and women marched down and signed up to protect America from her enemy: radical Muslim jihadists. It was the worst attack ever on American soil.

Americans from every corner of life stood up as one against the murderers who took 3,000 innocents that day. But as some Americans got tired of the war, our brave troops continued the fight to keep us safe. Even as politicians and others criticized our troops, claiming that the troops lost the war in Iraq, our brave American men and women put their lives on the line to protect us.

 
Memorial for fallen buddies, our heroes

They do not forget. They have lived the worst: the war, thousands of miles away from home. Their buddies giving their lives.

Our troops share that greif and carry it with them every day yet they still continue to fight. For that they deserve our respect.

 

And our troops don’t quit. Because true Americans aren’t quitters. They are the best we have, and we at MAF will never forget.

 
Troops in Afghanistan remember the 9/11 attacks


Move America Forward marks the Days of Christmas by highlighting some of the gifts our soldiers, Marines, airmen, Coasties, sailors have given us since the beginning of our great country.

The veterans of World War II and the Americans who worked to keep the country safe as Nazis and Imperialists plotted our overthrow are called “The Greatest Generation.” This generation of troops, who have protected America and fought against radical Muslim Jihadists since that infamous day of Sept. 11, 2001, are The Generous Generation of Selfless American heroes.

American troops volunteer. They give their lives. They sacrifice in extreme ways. So today, on the Eleventh Day of Christmas, MAF salutes them for their work keeping America safe from terrorists.

America’s homeland has not been hit again since Osama bin Laden’s maniacal murderers attacked. We owe this safety to our troops and our intelligence officers.

 

Today, thousands of more troops are moving into Afghanistan to protect America’s security. We can never forget. They don’t.
