A good friend mine, Kenny Oldson and his wife Nancy, invited me on a Father's Day ride to go pay our respects to his Grandfather who is buried in Minturn and also trained and served with the 10th Mountain Division between Red Cliff and Leadville. What a storied past it must have been for Voyde Oldson.
There is no doubt the United States Army has suffered greatly the last couple months taking more casualties than any other branch of the service; three (3) more have paid the ultimate price since last Monday’s post. As irony would have it, I visited the original training site of the 10th Mountain Division up near Leadville CO on Father's Day and today I see we have lost 2 from that very division. Why do we continue to let American's die for someone else's freedom? Enough is enough...
They are older than the country itself. The United States Army, protecting our borders, constitution and flag since 1775. Recently, the Army has suffered more casualties overseas than any other branch of the military so today, on Flag Day, make sure to thank the Army Veteran in your life.
There is no doubt the United States Army has suffered greatly the last couple months taking more casualties than any other branch of the service as four (4) more have paid the ultimate price since last Monday’s post. If I had the money for a flag pole my flag would fly lighted at half staff 24/7/365 until all our soldiers were home; they keep dying every week for someone else's freedom and I think enough is enough.
Five (5) more soldiers have paid the ultimate price since last Monday’s post. Please remember, “Freedom” isn't free at all; someone has to pay for it; just like these four 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.
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.
