fort bliss soldiers killed in afghanistan

We hear every day that freedom isn't free, but as we get ready to head into the three day Memorial Day weekend full of swimming and cookouts, the families and friends of five Fort Bliss soldiers who were killed earlier this month came face to face with just how much freedom really costs.

Soldiers from the 4-1, including my son Ryan, have been coming for weeks from their final deployment in Iraq, but there is terrible news from Afghanistan today that reminds us that not all of our troops are out of harms way.
