He shared a saying among veterans: "For those who have fought for it, life has a special flavor that the protected will never know." Benevidez, like others before him, knew what it's like to give everything you have.
He and the American founders had that in common. "We in the USA are so accustomed to the benefits of freedom that we often play fast and loose with it." We in the USA pay little or nothing for our freedom, but the first Americans paid heavily.
Founder John Adams left a message for you and me: "“Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."
