Freedom isn’t free. Never has been, never will be. Very special
warriors have provided freedom at supreme sacrifice since time
immemorial. Good people will never forget, and we celebrate Memorial Day
with a hard-charging spirit in appreciation for hard-charging warriors.
With his lifeblood pouring out of him from a mortal RPG wound to center mass, Pvt. 1st Class Todd Balding
from Texas was, on the surface, but a bundle of red gauze and bandages,
a jumble of tubes and numerous electronic apparatus beeping away. He
was surrounded by a dedicated team of U.S. military medical experts at the Landstuhl hospital in Germany doing everything in their power to save the young American’s life.
Toby Keith and I literally stood in the young hero’s blood and said a very solemn prayer. Moments later, Pvt. 1st Class Todd Balding
died. He was 21 years-old. He died fighting for freedom. That was one
of many defining moments that struck me deep inside during my USO tour in 2004, and a defining moment in my life.

We were talking to my neighbors yesterday about Nugent. They have made his life a living hell lately.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who have served know the cost of freedom. I'm 70 years old and still have vivid memories
of some things.
He has it correct, "Teach your children", freedom is not free.
God bless America
Mr. Nugent made a statement that if Obama was elected again , he would either be in jail or dead this time next year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to stand by him has my leader , because I feel the same way.
Our freedom is slowly going down the tubes because of this idiot president, or should I say a very smart president.
He doesn't believe anything connected to our history of freedom. He does believe in dictatorship and the Kuran.
This year will be the deciding factor of what happens to America as we know it today.
If you think this is scarey , then you are on the right track.
49% of the people in the U.S support the other 51%. Most who have never worked and never will, if we don't take control.
Wake now!!!
So says the draft-dodging coward Ted Nugent.
