Freedom's Never Free

I lost several friends in Viet Nam, and some who did come back were never the same. They did their duty...fought a war they were not allowed to win and came home. They did not receive hero's welcomes for the most part, just as the guys fighting in Afghanistan and Irak come home unsung heroes. People forget that soldiers go where they are sent, do what they are told to do, and rarely do they get the honor or merit due their many sacrifices. No amount of pay can ever make up for what they give up to serve their country. They serve...do their duty...whether the commander-in-chief is to their liking or not.

WW1 and WW2 were horrendous battles.  America fought in WW1 for other people's freedom.  WW2 they fought in Europe, again, for other people's freedom and elsewhere for OUR freedom.  Omaha beach should be visited by every person of this new generation so they can see the terrible price so many paid for freedom's

sake.

Soldiers leave the comforts of home and country to make a difference...to make a better, safer world.  Wives and children have lost their mates and father's, and in these days, some  have lost their wives and mothers.  Often, they are ridiculed by their fellow citizens because of what they are doing.  Their sacrifices should NEVER be a thankless task!  I, for one, am thankful for each one of them, past present and future!

Even more so, is the price paid for us when Jesus died for us.   His was the ultimate sacrifice of all time.   Freedom is NEVER free...Freedom's price...sacrifice! Remember....
