The following are some of the best links or items found on the Internet that honor our brave men and women who defend our freedom at great personal risk. This obviously includes our soldiers, but let's not forget our police and firefighters, and even ordinary Americans who act with heroism to save others without regard for themselves. As proud Americans, we honor them all, past, present and future.
