Freedom doesn't come free...
One of the best "military" stories that I have ever heard came from one of my dear friends Patti Clement. Her daughter Katie was dating a soldier several years ago who was coming home from Iraq and stopping here in Knoxville, TN to see her first. They went to the airport to pick him up and as they were riding the elevator to the parking garage they were greeted by an elderly couple. The man immediately saluted Katie's boyfriend who was in his army dress. He shook his hand and told him that he was a veteran and would've loved to have been over there with him.
Freedom does not come free...And I am proud of my grandfather: Clifford Arnold Monk, Chad's dad: Robert Earl Cox, Chad's cousin: Todd Cox and our dear friends Ryan McGlothlin and Joe Davis (who is still serving), and countless and nameless others who have fought and are fighting everyday for my freedom and for the free lives of my children. The words Thank You are never enough but please know we Thank You today and are blessed because of the path's that you have chosen to take....
