More Description

Any veteran who has experienced the horrors of war holds memories that remain vivid, unhindered by time. As one who experienced the rigors of the Korean War and two tours in Viet Nam, MSG Charles E. Stebbins has commemorated the service of men and women in this touching tribute. Freedom Is Not Free covers a wide range of topics, including poems for the fallen soldier, a mother's wisdom, and the beauty of love. His poetry comes from the heart and memories gleaned from a lifetime of knowledge. He saw life through the eyes of nature, his love of wife and family, love of God, the country he fought for, and the eyes of the comrades he fought with. During the writing of this book, he fought his final battle in life with ALS. These beautiful words tell the story of a gentle man who chose to be a soldier while also being a husband, father, grandfather, and friend to countless many. Written for America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and their families, Freedom Is Not Free captures the spirit of a man willing to give his all in defense of his country. Remember the sacrifices made on your behalf and treasure the moments of joy found all around.
