| Since our country’s foundation, men and women have been willing to make great sacrifices in the pursuit of freedom. The pages of history are colored with powerful examples of Americans who, in the most difficult of circumstances, fought with everything they had to keep the flame of freedom burning brightly across this great land. Since the War on Terror began, the men and women of the United States military have put their lives on the line to defend the freedoms we all cherish. It has not only required great sacrifice on the part of these soldiers, but their families have given up a great deal as well. For the past several months, Farmers Telecommunications Cooperative has asked for your help in collecting information on local people who have served their country in Afghanistan and Iraq. In this issue of Connected magazine, we pay tribute to our hometown heroes; thank you to all our members and Connected readers for helping us recognize those who have sacrificed so much for us all. |
