Watch: What is freedom? What does it mean to be an American?

July 4, 2018 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

Watch: What is freedom? What does it mean to be an American?

I know this isn’t some article, review or video on the latest piece of sexy gear or weaponry, but I felt it was appropriate and the timing was right. In the midst of all the violence we’ve seen and experienced, we need to not forget what our freedom means and what being an American means. Take a moment to reflect on your life, remember those that have sacrificed for your freedom and make any necessary adjustments to enjoy the freedom we have as Americans.

After over 17 years part of the Special Forces Operators, Scot and Tom Spooner talk about what it’s like to be an American. The simple truth they’ve discovered after being on both sides of the coin – from elite war fighters to U.S. citizens.
