The Cost of Freedom

The debacle that was the pull out from Afghanistan, left us mourning for 13 brave heroes who lost their lives. One of those heroes was a local man. He left behind a loving wife and a baby due in two weeks. Baby McCollum will never meet his or her daddy. Baby McCollum will never get to hold his or her daddy's hand. Baby McCollum will never experience the miracle that was his brave father.  The cost of freedom is high.

Our little town has a memorial for Rylee McCollum

A young man who died to bring us peace. May his death not be in vain.
