This song needed a video

I just saw this new video, "Freedom Never Cries," I'd been listening to this song on Five For Fighting's new album and I never really got the whole "flag to a pawnshop" idea. The lyrics don't convey the action which the main character takes at the end of the video. The song makes more sense now.

By the way, watching the video counts as a charitable donation. No, seriously. Every time you watch, $1 goes to Operation Homefront which cares for the families of our military and helps returning vets.

Hat tip to Hewitt, who points out that the pawnbroker in the video is actually a Medal Of Honor vet.
