Amazing True Stories!

Here are examples of regular people that did extraordinary things! Some were wealthy and lost everything because they wanted people in the future to have freedom! The American Dream is not about buying and owning a house of your own. Even though that's a good thing and an excellent goal. The American Dream is in the heart of every person that came to this country - in the past and in the present. It's a dream to have Freedom to learn, to live, to work and to enjoy life. And this dream is usually about giving your children the ability to live a better or financially better life than you did. The true stories in this book are inspiring and will give you reasons to cry and appreciate the bravery of the people that helped to make the American Dream Become A Reality! I highly recommend this book! I believe the exact stories in this book should be required reading by all upper elementary school and high school students. All graduating high school students should have an appreciation for the gift of freedom they were given by the people that gave everything up, in order for people in the future to have freedom. I highly recommend this book!!!
