Memorial Day 2013: Freedom Isn’t Free

A special tribute to those who didn’t come home from my parents’ generation in WWII, the Korean War, and my own generation, Vietnam.

The one thing that always hits me when I look at videos of America at war is just how young our troops are. Most of them are little more than boys.

Freedom certainly is not free. It’s also not for the faint of heart.

Will we ever go for more than 20 years without being involved in a war?

Memorial Day Weekend 2013: Some Gave All

Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, is the time for us to pay homage to those who have died defending our country. Not only did those brave souls give all, so did their families.

Over 7000 Americans have died in serving our country during the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. Five times that many Americans have had life altering injuries.

A special tribute goes out to those local heroes who gave all and to their families.
