Another week and another 5 more soldiers lost since last Monday's post. These warriors have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Please remember, "Freedom" isn't free at all; someone has to pay for it. Please make it a point this week to go out of your way and thank a soldier. It's a good habit to get into!
