Freedom has a price

On this Independence Day, I want to honor our fathers who served our country.

My dad was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. Dad served between the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Hubby's dad was a radioman in the Navy during the Korean War and afterward.

We are deeply proud and honored to say that our fathers served and protected our country.

My cousins Nicholas and Joshua currently serve in the Navy and Marines. I have a friend stationed in Saudi Arabia and another in Afghanistan.

I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you. May God watch over each of you and keep you from harm.

Freedom is not free. Celebrate Independence Day by honoring a veteran and/or service person.
