Somebody always pays for FREEDOM! American soldiers have fought and died for our freedom throughout the wars in the history of our Nation. We salute you all! You give your all; many have fought and died; multitudes are fighting and dying every day to make us free! The sacrifice is paved in blood, sweat and tears, on the ground, at sea, in the air ... you fight, you die, you pay the cost, and we greatly honor you!
FREEDOM is not free! Jesus Christ our Lord paid for our freedom from sin, death, hell, and the grave, with His blood, His torn, shredded, beaten body, and His life ... but He rose again; He's coming back ... and for this we can shout and say, "He that the Son sets free, is free indeed!"
The strength of America is undergirded with the most powerful and beautiful words of all, "In God We Trust," and in the bravery and courage of our fighting men and women in every area of our armed forces. We are a Nation built on the foundation of Godly principles, prayer, and armies willing to defend this foundation!
There are always "hands" that pay the price for all of us!
Hands that pay the price always leave a trail of blood! We still feel the sin-bought, blood-stained hands of our lovely Lord Jesus Christ, and we feel the impact of the hands that bled in every war for our Nation's freedom. People who fight on the battlefields understand freedom perhaps better than any other human. They risk their lives for others, for their country, and for their God. They are Heroes of the highest degree! Many come back as "Wounded Warriors," with lifelong scars of the battles fought. Most often, they do not complain; they are proud for having given themselves for a higher cause. They are, indeed, Heroes!
We honor you, Warriors past and present; we salute you, and we bestow upon you the greatest gratitude, and the highest honor due to all "who lay down their lives for a friend." You great people have the grandest and most notable of titles: "SOLDIER."
