Five (5) more soldiers have paid the ultimate price since last Monday’s post. These warriors have sacrificed everything and sadly, most of America has no idea because sadly our flags won't fly at half staff for them as a nation. Please remember, “Freedom” isn't free at all; someone has to pay for it; just like these 5 brave men. Please make it a point to share this on your FB pages and social media sites so that everyone knows, every week, that these young men and women continue to die every week.
