I’ve often heard it said that freedom isn’t free, and that’s so very true.
Since the day our great nation was founded every generation has produced thousands of patriots who were ready and willing to risk their own lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy as Americans from the tyrants who would endeavor to take them away.
