The cost of freedom is not paid only by the soldier. Those who are left behind at home also pay dearly. As the soldier makes his sacrifices, their families share those sacrifices. A young mother gives birth without her husband being there; a little girl can't understand why mommy is not there on Christmas morning; PaPa understands why his grandson is not at the Thanksgiving dinner table - he remembers a Thanksgiving he once spent in DaNang.
