Because of the Brave

A few days ago I saw a t-shirt that said 'Land of the Free - because of the brave'. This week a young man named Travis died so that we could continue to be free. His death has touched my heart as I have seen the sweet spirit of his family during this time of loss. No bitterness. No anger. Simply a strong faith that sustains them. Last night our church family celebrated our freedom with fireworks and ice cream. It is indeed good to be an American.
