I agree there are brave deeds done daily by individuals & organizations of different sizes.
When I think of being free (and feeling free), I think of not being overburdened by regulation on every level. (maybe this is an issue with me right now because I'm attempting to build a house now as owner builder) Also being able to express yourself sincerely and do the right thing without being sued and in jeopardy of being destroyed on a personal and financial level.
When I think of bravery, I take it for granted people (in their personal lives) are brave on a daily basis in situations they encounter and responsibilities they meet. Bit, I also think of bravery in terms of those in government, the military, etc. serving the public good and security doing what they know is right because they know it is the right thing to do. Seems like that kind of bravery has been sacrificed to money, power, and influence by almost everybody who supposedly espires to serve the public and national good. If you don't want to play that game, you end up being totally ineffective.
