When a soldier pays the ultimate price and lays down his or her life protecting the freedom of our great country it goes largely unnoticed; until now. Every week I post names of those “who gave all” so I can pay my respects and remember why I/we have the freedom we do.  Sometimes names are added after I post this so you can check back during the week for names that have been added and you all should be sharing this post on your FB pages weekly as a reminder to others.
