I am a patriot! I love this country and all it is and stands for. My beautiful mother instilled this love in me at a young age. My father served our country for a time. My husband currently is serving our country. I have had many extended family and friends serve. I am so thankful for the freedoms we enjoy. These beautiful freedoms come at a price. They must be fought for to be kept. Each of us should ask ourselves, are we doing anything to fight for this great country? What can I do more? Freedom is not free.
