The Liberty Tree (1646–1775) was a famous elm tree that stood in Boston, near Boston Common, in the days before the American Revolution. The tree was a rallying point for the growing resistance to the rule of Britain over the American colonies. In the years that followed, almost every American town had its own Liberty Tree—a living symbol of popular support for individual liberty and resistance to tyranny. In some locales, a Liberty Pole rather than a tree served the same political purpose.

Think about the Tree of Liberty, a symbol for all to see, to remind the citizens of each town why America is Great.
What makes America Great in your mind? Is it the nice income you have, the home you live in, the car you drive, the education you received?? Is it the fact that you can travel from one end of the country to the other without showing a passport? Is it the infrastructure: electricity 24/7, water- clean and drinkable, housing free from vermin and secure? Just what makes America Great?
"Ask not what your country can do for you, BUT ask what you can do for your country."- JFK
What are you willing to do so your children, and their children can enjoy the Greatness of America in their generation? My grandparents, Uncles, family friends, neighbors, and their parents before them lived, fought, and some died to keep America Free.
Just what are you going to do to keep America Free??
