Listen On:
“The United States and the freedom for which it stands, the freedom for which they died, must endure and prosper. Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply. It has a cost; it imposes a burden.” – Ronald Reagan
Today I’m joined by a special guest – my sister-in-law Kristy Graham – who challenged me several years ago to reevaluate how my family and I recognize Memorial Day. Kristy has spent 16 years as a military wife, married to my brother Edward, who is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army. Today on the #FearlessPodcast, Kristy and I are talking about the real reason we recognize this day and want to encourage you and your family to do the same. We’ll also hear from Kristy’s friend, Lisa, who is a Gold Star Wife and lost her husband.
