Unfortunately, right now our nation is in a time that doesn't necessarily appreciate or respect the courage and gallantry our service men. I never served, but I have many relatives that did in wars including the Civil War and WW II. I have the opportunity to lead my sons Cub Scout pack and in years past, I shared a couple of former soldiers stories with them. I thought it appropriate to also share these two men's stories with you. Some may have heard of one, but probably not the other. It really makes you appreciate your freedom when you read stories like these. Freedom isn't free and I want to thank anyone and everyone that served just to allow me the opportunity to live in a free nation.
