From the Preamble of the US Constitution (basically like a mission statement for the US Goverment)
At the time that it was written, Enlightenment thinkers believed the legitimate job of government was to protect citizen's lives, basic freedoms, and the ability to do things like earn a living.
"blessings of liberty" would be the rhetoric for basic freedoms like speech and religion. It ties into the rhetoric of being endowed inalienable right from the creator, etc. from the Declaration of Independence, as in blessings from god (creator) as part of inalienable rights.

The blessings of liberty - our freedoms. The freedom to live life the way you want. The freedom so speak your mind without fear of the government locking you away for your opinions. The freedom to live wherever you wish, work as much or as little as you want to maintain your lifestyle.
Securing those blessings means fighting for them against all enemies - foreign and domestic.

This comes from the Preamble of our constitution. It means Our Forefathers wanted all the goodness of our new country's freedoms available for future generations, a.k.a. you and me! Now if only the government would restore those liberties!

Paraphrasing: securing the secure practices and freedoms of ourselves and our descendants, is fairly what it says. An occasion may be (regardless of your opinion of the agency itself) the creation of native land secure practices in 2002 (not valuable of the 12 months) after the 9/11 assaults. the US had the autonomy to create an agency to inspect plausible terrorist threats; the US had the splendid to act by ability of itself behalf to safeguard the secure practices and freedoms of its inhabitants.

It's one of the five goals of the US Constitution as listed in the preamble. It means that one of the purposes of it is to protect your freedoms. Who benefits? Ideally every American.

Basically it means to take the liberty and fight for it to the end.

Using military might to squash evil. All who live with freedom benefit, because you don't lose your rights.
