Veterans Day and Operation Forever Free - 11-11-2008, 09:06 AM


On Friday Nov. 7th I had the pleasure of attending a very unique ceremony.
Operation Forever Free dedicated a brand new house to a wounded Army soldier. The house and all the furnishings were donated along with a golf cart, utilities, etc.
Chad Snowden was seriously injured in a fire fight in Falujah Irag. It is a medical miracle that he is still alive. He will never regain completely, but his community is giving him something in appreciation.
Think about the men and women who serve us, and the sacrifices they make.
Think about the families who miss them. They serve so that we can live as we like.

Amen! We should never take our freedom in America for granted and never take our brave soldiers for granted either.
