The direct object follows the verb. It is the noun or pronoun that receives (is affected by) the action expressed by the verb.
The indirect object follows the verb but precedes the direct object. When the verb expresses an action of giving and receiving, the indirect object is the noun that is the recipient of the direct object. Usually the indirect object is a person or a group of people.
Freedom to me means, I am free because men and women died so I can stand here today in this country without having to worry if I’m gonna die today or if my parents are safe. Freedom to me is the reason why I love are country and why I stand and recite the pledge every day.
