This page is dedicated to all the veterans of the wars that have been fought in the world since the beginning of time!

And especially to all the men and women currently serving their countries in armed service both in the United States and world wide.

The flags are a symbol of the United States, the Indiana State Flag and all the countries of the world.

Freedom is not free I watched the flag pass by one day, it fluttered in the breeze. A young soldier saluted it, and Then, he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud; With hair cut square and eyes alert, He'd stand out in any crowd. How many pilots' plane shot down? How many died at sea? How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, Freedom is not free. I hear the sound of taps one night, When everything was still. I listened to the bugler play, and felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times, that taps had meant "AMEN", When a flag had covered a coffin, of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, of the mothers and the wives, of fathers, sons, and husbands, with interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard, At the bottom of the sea, of unmarked graves in Arlington. No, Freedom is not free!
