Fallen Heroes – August 2011

The following warriors have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country while fighting the global war on terror. When a hero falls an angel rises, for our loss is Heaven’s gain. In the arms of the angels, may these brave souls find eternal peace and rest. We would all do well to remember that freedom is not free.
