— By Jeanette Kozlowski

Our friends at Free Military Photos alerted us to this breathtaking picture of military boots during a Memorial Day ceremony in Afghanistan.

Held at Camp Eggers in Kabul, the ceremony featured Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell discussing what it takes to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. He expanded his speech to include those who serve in other countries as well.

“Let us all use this day to focus our thoughts and prayers to cherish the memory of those loved and lost in the defense of our nations,” he said.

Its sad that out “president” doesn’t feel he needs to recognize one of our oldest traditions in this country on Memorial Day, The tomb of the unknown soldier. I guess he felt his other engagements were more important. Having never served he could not possible undstand how it feel to lose one or many of your brothers in arms. We all must remember freedom isn’t free there has been a heavy price paid!
