Although it isn't politically correct to say so, these great men and women, including our nephew, Sgt. Aaron Jagger, have laid down their lives for the cause of Liberty. Our country has always believed that our rights came from our Creator, and these rights must be defended. We are grieved by the great loss experienced by these families, but I hope it is some consolation that they have not died in vain. In spite of tyranny, dictators, and evil international terrorism, "The Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
