  "Freedom is not free...the simple things that people take for granted, other people don't have. You go fight to liberate a country, or people, and lay your life, for people you don't even know."
  – Antonio Gonzales
  
  Sergeant Major Antonio Gonzales: US Army. Pathfinders. Green Beret. Silver Star recipient. Most will never know the selfless sacrifice of military service. Fewer still will experience the sacrifice of combat. Fewer still will carry the memory of saving others under withering fire. Who is more qualified to issue the oft heard proclamation "freedom isn't free" than someone who has directly offered the freedom most dear to us...life itself? It is often said that you "fight for the buddy next to you". Might this be the ultimate test of service - the willingness to offer what is most dear to us for a people you don't even know?
