Let Freedom Ring

Mel Gibson's movie Braveheart tells a story of a man whose greatest wish is freedom - freedom from a political system which has held in its grasp the lives and spirit of an entire country. One of the most memorable lines in the movie is William Wallace's last word - "Freedom!"

The United States was founded for that same purpose - freedom from inequality and lives free to worship as we choose. As a nation, we have fought to ensure that right.

Some of our children are facing a different battle, however, and on Independece Day three were freed from the disease which tried to break their spirits. Caleb Crosby, Kelly-Anne Bouchard and Max Lacewell have been released. They joined Morgan Pritchett and Kira Cundiff, who passed only days before and helped to welcome Zac Talley on the 8th.

These families have just suffered one of the worst losses unimaginable in a parent's life and the entire dipg community grieves with them.
