This day, and everyday,
let us pray for and thank the men and women who served our country,
remember those who served and who now serve to provide us our freedom under God´s grace
Everyday rejoice and give thanks to GOD for all we have is HIS

This site is dedicated those members of the Florida Chapter 70 that have gone before us.

Freedom isn't Free
The price is still being paid

Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you 'grave for me,
Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.


At the going down of the sun, we shall honor and remember them
