Being from a Military Family

    and seeing my father in WW2,

    and knowing he had been

    blown of the UUSHuston .

    The ship still stands as a tourist attraction

    in Huston Texas, for people to see.

    He survived, with many things in his memory...

    Those that have fought the wars

     for our Liberty, and Freedom,

     " I don't think Freedom is Free",

     Seeing my husband  who fought

     two tours in Vietnam,

     all the battles in his mind....

     that I have seen!

     " I do not think Freedom Is Free",

     I pray for the troops daily,

     for the troops in the war today,.....

     " I don't think Freedom is Free"

     But, we as a Country of Freedom,

     take a moment to think of  our

     Veterans that have fought the Wars .....

     Thank a Vet today!

      We live in this America,

     this land of the free....

     "I dont think Freedom is Free"

     If no one has told you today

     "Thank You and Welcome home My Friends"

     "Freedom is Not Free"

      For the Memory of all those that gave their lives

      for this Country, and the POW/MIA

     "Freedom Is Not Free"
