Freedom Wasn’t Free Remember the grace extended to all of us in this “Freedom Wasn’t Free” T-shirt by Hold Fast™ in Navy. This searing image calls to mind the ultimate sacrifice at far-off places like Yorktown, Okinawa, Khe Sanh, and Fallujah. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Freedom indeed isn’t free, and the Bible echoes over the centuries to remind us that this is a greater love, to willingly give up one’s life in defense of freedom at home. Many Americans remember loved ones who never came home so that we could be safe at home. It is a greater love, to be sure. Love of country is something we all share, and a diverse national community has been affected by our men and women offering the ultimate sacrifice.
