We salute those who fought for our freedom so we may live in peace.
This special edition of Your West Central Voice is dedicated to the men and women from our region that so bravely served our country. Some of them paid the supreme sacrifice. They were more than soldiers, they were sons and daughters, husbands and fathers. They came from towns and hamlets that are no longer. We can never begin to repay them, but we can remember them, every ONE of them.
