The freedoms that the United States prides itself on came at a cost‚ and it continues to require a sacrifice from those members of the military and their families to protect the country.

For example Michael Brown‚ the police said Michael had attacked them‚ tried to grab an officer’s gun and hit him. They said the officer only acted in self defense.
