As we prepare for today’s parades, cookouts, and gatherings we stop to remember all of those who have paid for our freedom in life and blood. “Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flys with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” -author unknown
We also honor and cherish each and every horse who gave its life in battle.
