Soldiers in arms in the eternal fight for freedom. Our soldiers past, present and future have a calling to serve and we, as a nation, should be more than generous with our thanks and make sure they have what they need. It’s not just a bumper sticker that says some gave their best and some gave their all. I am forever grateful for all those that served..past and present. 🙏
