As I sat and watched the National Anthem being played, flagged draped coffins were carried through the streets to the graveyard.
A Nation in mourning for the loss of lives that continue to mount each day.
The high price that is paid for 'freedom' is often too high for those who suffer the loss of loved ones.
But it is THAT very 'freedom' - sacrifice - which allows us to speak our minds without fear.
It is THAT very 'freedom' - sacrifice - which allows us to worship ANY God we choose to.
It is THAT very 'freedom' - sacrifice - which allows us to sleep without fear of war on our homeland.
This spirit of 'freedom' is what we should never take for granted and remembering always that this 'freedom' is NOT free!
