  • Sound of Freedom Foundation Seeking Donations

    Luisa Reyes|Jul 1, 2025

    June 27, 2025 - While open borders and lax border security might facilitate the flow of commerce, they also facilitate another type of trade, that of human trafficking. And the reports are that 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children are missing and unaccounted for under the supposed "supervision" of U.S. immigration authorities. As while in 2008 there were but 8,000 cases of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the USA, those numbers have since escalated. With 2022 featuring 149,000...

    Luisa Reyes|Jul 1, 2025

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights." These powerful words were made immortal when The Continental Congress officially adopted the final draft of The Declaration of Independence on July 04th, 1776. And while such words may ring pretty to the modern day ear, during the time they were penned, which was a time of empires, kings, and monarchs, it was daring to the point of high treason to...

  • Vietnam Pinning Ceremonies To Honor Alabama Vietnam Veterans

    Luisa Reyes|Jul 1, 2025

    When American soldiers returned home from the Vietnam War fifty years ago, they were not afforded a hero's welcome as in past wars. In fact, the soldiers were treated so poorly upon their return to the USA, that the military began sending them back home at times when the airplanes would land at the airports on American soil between midnight and two in the morning. Many of those soldiers were drafted into the war and involved in it not by choice. And in the end, with the fall of Saigon in 1975,...

  • The Light of Life

    Luisa Reyes|May 21, 2025

With verse 9 further stating that "The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world." In fact, early religious iconography often depicts Jesus surrounded by a halo, which is a ring of light surrounding a person. While often science and religion seem to be at odds, upon further study, they intertwine once more. Such is the case with a newly...
