Memorial Day Audio Books

It's Memorial Day here in the US. What has become a long weekend of picnics, BBQs and camping. But it was set aside as a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.

What better way to remember their sacrifice than by celebrating freedom? Below are two great sites that have audio versions of speeches and works dedicated to freedom.

FreeAudio is, in their words, "a non-partisan organization dedicated to the spread of liberty." Works that you can find there include Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the Bill of Rights. It is a wonderful site and I encourage you to head on over and add some liberty to your day.

AmericanRhetoric is a large collection of speeches (over 5,000) in text, audio and video formats. You can listen to a huge variety of speeches including presidential (past & present) and other great American statesmen.

So show your appreciation to all those who have served our country by enjoying, celebrating and increasing your freedom.

Happy Listening!
