16 Jun 2007 On Flag Day, 2007, I was thinking about all the veterans I went to high school with from our hometown of Henderson, Tennessee, who, like you, gave the supreme sacrifice, that we can remain free. On behalf of all our local citizens in Chester County, I want to say "Thank You". I'll always remember you and the fun we had in school. We honor you this day and truly appreciate your service to our nation. Freedom comes with a price, it is not free. From a high school friend. gpar200@charter.net
