Many of our soldiers are those that have paid the ultimate price for this country, protecting it both at home and abroad from the many threats we face from our enemies wishing us and them harm, and some are not. In either case they are the real American heroes of today and we now honor both the fallen and the enlisted with this feature week after week and thanks for reading and supporting these fine men and women.
This week we salute.......Also,today sadly marks 800 of our bravest and best Heroes killed in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. May God rest their souls as we all owe them and their still fighting brethren a debt of gratitude thank you's just won't cover....
