TO ALL WHO SERVE(D) OUR NATION - THANK YOU

What they say is true, Freedom is not free.

Freedom is costly in terms of the toll serving in our nation's
military takes on those who serve.



The tears and grief of saying goodbye to fallen friend(s).



The loss of a loved one back home when they could not be there.





The physical and mental trauma of being wounded.

The panic and terror that a wounded comrade may not make it.



Giving selflessly, fighting and caring for those unable to help
themselves.

Exhaustion.



Taking on another's pain.



Trying to find comfort where ever one can.



Trying to hold onto one's faith and humanity in the midst
of adversity.




The emotional pain of separation, missing family and friends.


FREEDOM is paid for by the blood, sweat and tears of our
nation's service men and women.

HONOR THEM.


MEMORIAL DAY - it's not just for bbq's, picnics and fireworks.
