A recent report on the cost of freedom – from the AP:
In the summer twilight, a crowd gathers on a baseball diamond in Seattle, candles in hand, to remember a sailor who not long ago ran this dusty path.
In a California church, a young widow reunites with friends she saw just nine months ago at her wedding – this time, though, they’ve come to bid farewell to her soldier-husband.
And in a Tennessee high school, a family friend remembers the eager boy who grew up counting the days until he could don an Army uniform.
Day after day, the war in Afghanistan comes home…
Remember that every day while you and I sit safe and dry here at home, our best and bravest are out there putting their lives on the line. In this, it doesn’t matter your opinions – your opinions mean nothing to a 20 year old soldier on patrol in Afghanistan. All that soldier wants is the knowledge that you’ll back him up, and honor him by living the liberty he secures for us.
Don’t let a day go by without thinking of them – praying for them, and for the victory which will allow all of them to come home.
