<%=DocID%> Philadelphia Liberty Recipient

  "Man’s desire for freedom is stronger than fear…And, if for a moment, man is held captive, the effort becomes similar to an attempt at holding back a river. A river is destined to flow; man is destined to retain the freedom granted him by his Creator…. “…Man is not free if he calmly observes the captivity of another man. Liberty is not only a right, but also our common responsibility and duty"

Lech Walesa
Polish Solidarity founder and later Polish President
