F-ettered not our litany
R-eflections throughout history
E-nduring time has set all free
E-ndemic rights each one shall see
D-emocracy's our sanctity
O-ur future's true proclivity
M-ankind's responsibility

Nan~
I like this.
Many are not afforded the rights of freedom we enjoy.
Indeed - It is 'mankinds responsibility'
to mankind everywhere.

Excellent timing!  and so well written!
Any way you spell Freedom, it shouts the glory of our heritage and symbolism of our Flag.  
Well done Nan!
