The American Soldier has preserved our precious freedoms since the Revolution. Each one was a special individual, they were not just a number, they were a person with a life and a soul. Almost 1.5 million have given their lives for us. Over 42 million have served our nation over our history. Like your freedom? Thank God and every veteran that you meet. Jesus gave his life so that we might live free spiritually and eternally. As Christians we are fortunate that this is so.
