    When I worked for many years at Nelllis AFB, NV, they had a big poster outside the main gate. It read, "Jets are the sound of Freedom." This is so true. I hope we always realize that freedom is not free....our ancestors paid the ultimate price to ensure our freedom!! Wonderful, touching and so appropriate for this theme!!!

    Joe, this is beautiful. The title is something that occupies my mind quite frequently. I fear we are in great jeopardy of losing that which we have fought and paid for most dearly.
