Freedom isn't free.

In memory of all those who paid the price.

And in gratitude to all those here who have served.

Hey, not to take anything away from those who served and are serving, and we should thank them every day, but remember we do also have Veteran's Day...

Today is a very special day as this is the day we give thanks and specifically remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in serving. Freedom is not free.

I took this picture about 2 years ago. Candid shot of my two sons after being told what each star represented.

Teach your kids about this because your school system probably won't.

"Here we mark the price of freedom."

God Bless the families of everyone who has paid the ultimate price.
