Our freedom comes at a price

It's easy for all of us to complain, debate, and argue over what's right and wrong in our part of the world. But it comes at a price that all too often we take for granted. On this Memorial Day, Remembrance Day and Armistice Day, take a moment to pay respect.

It's easy for all of us to complain, debate, and argue over what's right and wrong in our part of the world. But it comes at a price that all too often we take for granted. On this Veteran's Day / Memorial Day, Remembrance Day and Armistice Day, take a moment to pay respect for those who sacrificed so much to enable us to have freedom.
