As we celebrate our great Nation’s birth, let us never forget that the freedoms we take for granted did not last from 1776 to the present without cost. On Saturday July 1st, Gail and Peter Sora, parents of LCpl. Peter J. Sora, Jr., were presented with the Gold Star banner by the Blue Star Mothers of NH and a ribbon by the riders of the Patriot Guard in a special cemremony at the NH Veteran’s Cemetary. LCpl. Sora was killed in a training accident while awaiting deployment to Iraq. Shown below are Peter’s parents with the Patriot Guard’s banner. Take time today to ponder the ultimate sacrifice that he, and all his fallen brothers and sisters in our armed forces have given to preserve the special gift created at the founding of America.
