"Freedom isn't free" is not just a cliche. My eighteen year old son is giving his all every day in Afghanistan; sleeping with rats. My son that I would give my own life for and I would not want him anywhere else because our country and our freedom is worth it. This young man, my son, and all of our military are heroes not to be forgotten for their sacrifices and bravery.
