Red White and Blue Keychain

I am looking at a red, white and blue keychain. I have 3 stars one red, one white, and one blue. It has 36 more beads arranged in a pattern of red, blue than white. This keychain reminds me of freedom, something we all take for granted. Freedom is very important to me. I know how much people sacrifice for our freedoms. I myself looked into enlisting before I even got out of high school, but a medical condition prevented me from joining. Some people will not stand during the pledge, not remove their hats during the star spangled banner, not honor a solider come home in a coffin, they don't realize how many died to give them that right, and some don't care. This keychain reminds me of my freedoms, reminds me of people’s sacrifices. Not only the sacrifice of that soldier, but the sacrifice his/ her family made, the loved one they lost. This keychain makes me proud to be an American, where people make sacrifices, have heart ache, soldiers die for my freedom.  This keychain is so much more than just a keychain, it is a symbol for what is great about our country, and it is a sacrifice for our people. This keychain is one of the things that is so good about America. I am honored to say that I support our troops, and that I love the country that I live in today.
