Thanksgiving quote

Thanksgiving has never been a part of my life but I'm thankful today for a quote posted on one of the blogs I read (cynical-c.com):
"And then my heart was filled with gratitude, with thankfulness, and went out in love to all the heroes, the thinkers, who gave their lives for the liberty of hand and brain – for the freedom of labor and thought – to those who fell on the fierce fields of war, to those who died in dungeons bound with chains – to those who proudly mounted scaffold’s stairs – to those by fire consumed – to all the wise, the good, the brave of every land, whose thoughts and deeds have given freedom to the sons and daughters of men and women. And then I vowed to grasp the torch that they have held, and hold it high, that light may conquer darkness still."

Ps: Day 4 and 5 of Italy are coming. Sorry - I've been working my tush off elsewhere. Yay!
