A veteran said, “I can sleep at night, in peace, without fear because of their sacrifice”.<br><br>The cost is immeasurable!! A child growing up without their parent. A spouse without her partner. The passing of a family member and not being present. Missed games, ballet recitals, birthdays, and anniversaries are just standard operating procedures.<br><br>On this weekend of Memorial Day 2024, we implore you to take a moment and remember why you have the life that you have. Freedom is not free. It was paid by those heroic men and women who said, “I will give my life for you”.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="478"
