Trail of Honor; Jackson, MS Harley Davidson

Freedom isn't free", "freedom is not free", or "freedom ain't free" is an idiom in the United States, thought up by Colonel Walter Hitchcock (USAF Retired) of New Mexico Military Institute, that expresses gratitude for the service of members of the military. It implicitly states that the freedoms enjoyed by many citizens in Western republics are only possible through the voluntary risks taken and sacrifices made by the military. A problem with the saying is that a particular war or military engagement may not be fought in any particular sense for the freedoms of Americans but what are viewed by some groups within the U.S., as national interests.
