WE REMEMBER

In the 243 years of our country’s existence, thousands of soldiers have fought for our freedom. They pledged their strength, skill, and lives to protect our liberties. Some wrote a blank check, giving their all. In Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, the Washington Post reports that “6,838 U.S. service members have died.” Freedom comes at a great cost, and we honor that cost along with the men and woman who paid it.
