I Want to Thank Our Veterans

My son went to Iraq, in 2003, during the shock and awe stage. He marched with the 101st. Airborne, as a staff sergeant. From the bottom of Iraq to the top. He lost his driver, did things he was ordered to do that will haunt him the rest...

Freedom isn't free. The price of freedom is eveident everytime TAPS is blown.
 
Thank you to those who have served and those who lost someone they love so that I can live free.

I wrote this on another website and it has to do with Remembrance Day as I'm from Canada, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Many people have not been in the military and can not understand why the service man or woman  is so dedicated to our Commander In Chief. When we first entered the military we took an oath to protect our Constitution and to obey...
