Unfortunately, freedom isn't free. John Kennedy said it best:
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
And, the great almighty TV news never quite tells the whole story either. They fail to mention that we lose more Americans every day to drunk drivers then we lose in war. More Americans are murdered each day in New York City or Los Angeles than we lose in war. We lose more to lung cancer each day than from war. I could go on and on. We should be outraged that the news doesn't give us all the information - only that which supports their agenda.
Remember, the media isn't our friend - they push their own agenda and many Americans buy into their bull.
God bless all the Americans who have given their lives for the freedom we have. God bless this LT who gave his life for freedom.
