The Rebel Crier

This weekend, we pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation and our freedoms. In these times where it sometimes seems that we face insurmountable differences, it is important to remember those who put themselves in harm's way for the good of their nation, communities, and families.
